On Wednesday, August 29, 2012 Joe Shepley presented the web seminar “SharePoint and Yammer: What the Microsoft Acquisition Means for Your Organization.” In this one-hour web seminar, Joe discussed the Yammer acquisition and the risks and opportunities it presents to organizations.

SharePoint has been a major player in the enterprise collaboration market over the last six years. From team sites to manage project documents, to intranets, portals, wikis, and blogs, there’s hardly an organization out there that isn’t using SharePoint in some capacity to enable collaboration between employees. Microsoft’s recent acquisition of Yammer, a cloud-based social collaboration tool, introduces both great opportunity and great risk into the SharePoint equation, and organizations across all industries are wondering what their next move should be.

By the end of this seminar you will have a clear understanding of the relationship between the enterprise collaboration and social media domains, the evolving coexistence between SharePoint (MOSS, 2010, SharePoint 15) and other enterprise software platforms, and the best way to determine what enterprise collaboration functionality your organization really needs.
