Today's post comes from Jared Spataro, Senior Director, Microsoft Office Division. Jared leads the SharePoint business, and he works closely with Adam Pisoni and David sacks on Yammer integration.
In November last year of SharePoint Conference we announced about three phases of the Yammer integration roadmap for enterprise social and said: "Basic integration, deeper connections and connected experience." (Post that I published shortly after the SPC Keynote please see social work .) Today at the convergence of 2013 , we provided an update on this roadmap and I wanted the details to share.
Yammer and Office 365. During the Office keynote today we performed the integration of Yammer and Dynamics CRM (customer relationship management). We delivered this update last monthand we love the scenario social plus CRM is a natural fit. But CRM integration is just one part of a broader range of work that we do to the social layer whining about all of our products. Our next step is to integrate with Office 365, and we are now ready, more details about what when are available to share. Here is what you need to know:
Basic integration.This summer we update the Office 365 service and allow customers, with whining to replace the SharePoint newsfeed. Many customers worry confusing to provide their users with two different feeds, and with this update they can simply replace Office-365-global navigation bar with a link to Yammer.com "Feed" link on the. We a yammer app into the SharePoint store will ship also, so that end users can easily integrate a group of Yammer feed in a SharePoint site to establish a connection between groups and pages that deliver the best of both worlds. The SharePoint newsfeed will continue to be the standard social experience in Office 365, but the possibility of complaining through valuable be replaced first in the entire integration process. Deep links. In this case, we supply to deepen another update on Office 365 and integration. Customers have the possibility of choice between complaining and the SharePoint newsfeed, but this new, integrated Yammer experience provides single sign-on (SSO) and seamless navigation. In other words, if you click the Yammer link in the Office-365-global navigation bar, Yammer appears immediately below the navigation, to regain Office 365 services like Outlook and sites. See also the user to begin to converge the experiences of Yammer and Office 365 (cf. the concept, which is down to mock, a directional sense get). This new Yammer experience features also rich document to add integration of Office Web apps work and news column, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel documents.
Yammer and SharePoint Server. Of course, we now recognize that many SharePoint clients still local. You are working on your upgrade plans and find a way, with their on-premises deployment 2013 your Yammer network to connect SharePoint. So as part of the summer updates offer we local through whining also instructions for SharePoint news feed to replace. The Yammer app into the SharePoint store will be a valuable addition to allowing customers to create connections between Yammer groups and local SharePoint sites. While we do not plan to deploy updates for SharePoint Server every 90 days, are numerous improvements to the Yammer service described above are still valuable in this scenario. The SSO, updated UX, seamless navigation and all connections between the Yammer network and your local SharePoint deployment will deepen Office Web app integration.
What should I do? Meet my clients in the last few months, people often have "asked, what I use for the social? Yammer or the SharePoint newsfeed?" My response was clear: go whine! Yammer is our big bet for social enterprises, and we commit ourselves to making it the underlying social layer for all of our products. It is the social experiences in SharePoint, Office 365, dynamics and more. Lament the adoption of unique model appeals directly to end users and enjoy the benefits of social immediately relieved. And whining because it is an online service that gives us the ability to innovations fast - update the service quickly developed as the market. So no matter whether you are an Office 365 customer or current SharePoint local, complaining the latest innovations and provide optimum user friendliness.
What if I just use Yammer? To whine my exuberance for all, I recognize that some organizations only not with multi-multi-tenant cloud services feel. For these customers is our forecast to use the SharePoint newsfeed. It provides rich social features with a wide range of SharePoint features integrated. While the cloud lowers the barriers to adoption and allows for more frequent updates, we are getting some customers only ready to take the step. (Some customers are in fact on it, which never move them to a multi-tenant service.) When it comes to the cloud, we're "all in", but we are also realistic. We have a large local installed base that is important to us and we are committed to future versions of the server.
Acquisitions can be tricky business, but we are very pleased with our progress. Whining continues to have innovative grow and their independent companieshave, and the packaging and price changes , which we at the SharePoint Conference last year announced lighter the Yammer service accessible than ever before. But the most to, what for me is that we are just beginning to have. Today's schedule update provides a little more insight into how we plan to whining to integrate with Office 365 and SharePoint. But we are out to change the world, and there is much more to come.
