Microsoft purchase of Yammer
Microsoft’s social product for enterprise a social product for the enterprise that has already been
validated by the marketplace. More than 200,000+ companies worldwide are already using Yammer, proof that it solves a real need.
Natural product to integrate Yammer complements the Office suite of products. By adding a
social element to Outlook and SharePoint (and maybe even SkyDrive), Microsoft will make its already ubiquitous corporate products much more powerful and collaborative.
Simple features as compare to SharePoint Alternative to SharePoint social capabilities
There are rumours that social capabilities of SharePoint 15 are not very great. Now the purchase of Yammer is suggesting the same point.
