Yammer is a lightweight program for Windows designed for organizations to facilitate communication, collaboration, and knowledge sharing among employees. Created by Microsoft, it serves as a convenient platform where team members can connect, exchange ideas, and stay updated on company news.
Goal
The application comes equipped with a straightforward graphical interface, allowing you to post as well as view messages from your colleagues. Its main purpose is to establish a network to which only employees with a valid company email address are able to connect, thereby preventing unauthorized access.
Main capabilities
The My Feed section is dedicated to displaying all the messages sent by team members. It is necessary to note that the moment users log in, the items they share with fellow workers are automatically updated on their status.
The utility enables employees to tell their teammates what they are currently doing, attach different files and documents, as well as assign a specific tag to their update. Please note that the information may be shared with My Colleagues or with a Group you belong to.
