jamesbmarshall Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Happy times, people! Yammer Enterprise now included in Office 365 Midsize Business and Education plans | Office Blogs If you have an Office 365 Education tenant, you can now activate Yammer Enterprise for no additional cost. 3
jamesbmarshall Posted July 8, 2014 Author Posted July 8, 2014 great what is it though A quick search engine query would tell you... However, since not everyone will know, let me summarise: Yammer is an "enterprise social" network, the very simplest way to think about it is a "closed Facebook/Twitter" environment where people can share ideas, work collaboratively on projects, files, etc. It's hugely powerful, but perhaps the best way to get an idea of what it can do is to read this blog post about how it's helped Wymondham High Academy.

jamesbmarshall Posted July 8, 2014 Author Posted July 8, 2014 I did and just couldnt cut through the waffle to work out what it actually was lol It's actually surprisingly difficult to explain in writing - so much easier to show and tell.

Office 365 Weekly Webinar | James Marshall James. Is there somewhere we can view the topic for each week?
jamesbmarshall Posted July 8, 2014 Author Posted July 8, 2014 Is there somewhere we can view the topic for each week? It's the same presentation every week basically - although with the announcement there'll be a specific mention of it. It's just a drop in session for people to learn more that runs every week, but in future it may be more structured with specific content every week. If that changes, I'll update my post.
aceonbass Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Could be interesting for us, but we need to wait until MS release the new tool to allow multi-forest AD imports into a single tenancy.

I am going to be running a session on the new AAD Sync tool! :-) so if that is something you are interested in attending let me know. Good to see that it's going to be of use to you! :-) James.

gshaw Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Does that mean Yammer is now a) hosted in the EU datacentres and b) more fully integrated with the rest of O365?

I'm not in a position to comment on the first bit, so you're best off taking that up with your account manager. As for integration, yes. 1
