Microsoft developed Office 365 to be a comprehensive solution for businesses of all sizes. Among its widely recognized uses, such as using Word, Excel, and Powerpoint, it comes with a host of other features that are designed to boost productivity and allow for easier collaboration amongst teams.

Yammer is one of those tools that can help boost communication and collaboration between members of an organization. Since the license for Yammer is included in the license for Office 365, it is possible to easily integrate the two. Rather then using them by themselves, there are benefits to using Yammer and using them together. Here’s more information:

Benefits of Using Yammer

Yammer thinks of itself as a social network that is designed to connect members of an enterprise together to help businesses achieve their goals. In today’s global businesses environment, it is necessary to find more efficient ways to communicate and collaborate. Through Yammer, employees are able to connect with one another to do things like collaborate on projects, share ideas, and allow for enhanced communication no matter where in the world the people are all located. This can be achieved by utilizing Yammer’s group feature.

There are other great features of Yammer that will allow for greater collaboration. For example, it can be used to collaborate with outside parties, as well. This includes vendors, consultants, and other workers who may not be officially considered an employee of the company. Outside collaborators can be securely looped into conversations. Yammer also comes with an inbox, search feature, discovery feed, and the ability to receive relevant notifications.

Integrate With Office 365

It is true that Yammer can integrate seamlessly into Office 365 and users can do this free of charge since Yammer is included for free in the Office 365 license. Sure, both products can be used separately with good results. However, there are some great benefits to using them both together. Here’s a look at what these benefits are:

  • Yammer enables users to more easily do tasks such as network configuration, data analytics, and network compliance.
  • More easily integrate with other applications, such as SharePoint, when doing so through Yammer.
  • Easily log in to Yammer through Office 365, which allows for seamless integration.

By themselves, both Yammer and Office 365 can boost productivity in the workplace. However, using them together makes them even powerful. By integrating the two together, it makes collaboration between team members, employees, and other enterprise users even more efficient. Simply activate Yammer through the Office 365 license.
