34. Where is it going?
Delbene: ““The combination of Yammer, SharePoint and Office 365 will
provide the most comprehensive and flexible solutions for enterprise social
networking.””
Translation: “SharePoint and Yammer will be integrated in the cloud (soon).”
34

35. Where is it going?
Delbene: “Over time, I see opportunity for exciting new scenarios by adding
Yammer’s stand-alone service alongside and integrated into our collaboration
offerings with SharePoint, Office 365, Dynamics and Skype. “
Translation: “We’ll integrate this with other cloud solutions down the road.”
35

36. Where is it going?
Delbene: “I picture people being able to use Yammer to manage and expand
their professional relationships, share and collaborate on Office documents,
stay informed about content updates, and to seamlessly move from status
updates and feeds into voice and video conversations.”
Translation: “Yammer and Office means this is FOR REAL. Voice and video
means we understand UX now. The cloud is our path to nimble delivery.”

One size does not fit all. Ask yourself:
Am I in a highly regulated industry?
How mature is my organization in social?
What is our mobile strategy?
How do we / will we leverage cloud solutions?
Talent acquisition and retention?
How do I develop my social strategy? 44
