Introduction of Yammer
Yammer is an Enterprise Social Network (ESN) that is part of your Office 365 subscription.
It allows for Facebook-style communication with users inside and outside of your organization.
Access to a Yammer network is determined by a user's Internet domain so that only individuals with approved email addresses may join their respective networks.
It also gives third-party developers the opportunity to create and sell their collaborative applications directly to users of the platform.
It is essentially a social network that’s entirely focused on your business.
