  • #18 11% internal social4% internal microblogging
  • #36 Enterprise: Shared, common, accessible to all users within an (often large, national or global) organizationSocial: By, for and about peoplePeople to peoplePeople to filesPeople to dataConversations and collaboration around all of the aboveNetworks: Opportunities for many different nodes. Value is in breaking down silos and getting faster, more effective collaboration across those silos.Traditionally an internal facing application
  • #37 An Extranet is a system designed to provide secure, external collaboration with customers, partners, and vendors– people not on your network but whom you need to collaborate with.
  • #38 Traditional use cases include:Document sharing and collaborationMany-to-many communication (e.g., project teams)Sharing large files (especially drawings & rich media) – often done with FTP previously
  • #41 Initial adoption is rapid (and often led by freemium, “viral” early adopters)Familiarity breeds usability (this is true for millions. Doubt me? Take a look…)
  • #44 Yammer looks a lot like Facebook. There’s a certain paradigm that people are used to. Why change it? It’s just like how Google Docs mirrors Microsoft Office right down to the file menu. People have been using this interface for years and are familiar with it. Take advantage of that.
  • #46 Note: files, etc becomes more powerful with SP/SkyDrive integration on roadmap
  • #48 How does Microsoft itself use Yammer? Keep in mind that this acquisition is not even 18 months oldBefore it happened, there were at least 5000+ active Yammer users at MSFTMSFT is a great case study from both a customer and partner example
  • #50 Midwest EPG Customers – SharePoint Saturday
  • #51 Yammer On Tour event – partner and customer outreachThere are also communities around different technologies, technology boards, etc.
