New in SharePoint 2013: Community

► Combines social features of a My Site with those of a Team Site

► Rich way to add discussion areas, post questions, rate results

► Use a badging system to spotlight top contributors and performers automatically.

► Simple to dynamically assemble a custom pool of users for any community at all.

Page 10: SharePoint 2013 Social - Yammer

New in SharePoint 2013: Newsfeed

► Its more than RSS…► Every site can have an

(optional) custom community social stream.

► Every microblog update can now include:– #tags (dynamically pulled from

or added to MMS)– @targets (default pulls from

your social colleagues list but you can post the updates to any SharePoint user)

Microsoft’s Guidance and Timeline

Page 20: SharePoint 2013 Social - Yammer

► SharePoint search integration. We're enabling SharePoint search to search Yammer conversations and setting the stage for deeper, more powerful apps that combine social and search.

► Yammer groups in SharePoint sites. The Yammer app in the SharePoint store will allow you to manually replace a SharePoint site feed with a Yammer group feed, but we recognize that many customers will want to do this programmatically. We're working on settings that will make Yammer feeds the default for all SharePoint sites.

► Yammer messaging enhancements. We're redesigning the Yammer user experience to make it easier to use as a primary communication tool. We'll also be improving directed messaging and adding the ability to message multiple groups at once.

► Email interoperability. We're making it easier than ever to use Yammer and email together. You'll be able to follow an entire thread via email, respond to Yammer messages from email, and participate in conversations across Yammer and email.

► External communication. Yammer works great inside an organization, but today you have to create an external network to collaborate with people outside your domain. We're improving the messaging infrastructure so that you can easily include external parties in Yammer conversations.

► Mobile apps. We'll continue to invest in our iPad, iPhone, Android, Windows Phone 8, and Windows 8 apps as primary access points. The mobile apps are already a great way to use Yammer on the go, and we'll continue to improve the user experience as we add new features to the service.

► Localization. We're localizing the Yammer interface into new languages to meet growing demand across the world.

Yammer Roadmap

Page 21: SharePoint 2013 Social - Yammer

► Social in SP 2013 is definitely better but still basic and will require effort and diligence to get good adoption

► Yammer is cool and sleek but limited in governance and true integration with SharePoint

► A “Best of both worlds” integrated approach is at least a year away, maybe not until the next SharePoint release for on prem.

► Microsoft is pushing Yammer as the solution but it does not always fit.

The Yammer Conundrum

Page 22: SharePoint 2013 Social - Yammer

► Is my company OK with having confidential information in MultiTenant Cloud?

► What are the plans as to Office 365 use?► Is SharePoint staying on Prem or moving to the cloud version?► How comfortable are the users with SharePoint?► Timeline in upgrading to SharePoint 2013► Are all users on the same email domain?

Key Questions to Consider

Page 23: SharePoint 2013 Social - Yammer

► Yammer is Free to Office 365 customers who have Enterprise Agreement (and for now, over 250 users)

► E1-E4 + SharePoint Online► Otherwise, $3/user/month for Enterprise Network► Basic is not recommended beyond Pilot

Pricing

Page 24: SharePoint 2013 Social - Yammer

Decision Guidelines

SP Newsfeed Yammer► Not ok with Multitenant► On or moving to SP2013 on

prem and SP is well used.► Not on office 365 & EA and

want to save $$► Need a controlled, cohesive

env.► Need cross domain access

► OK with Multitenant► Office 365 + EA► On SharePoint Online► On SP 2010 with no

immediate upgrade plans► OK with evolving,

somewhat fragmented experience

Page 25: SharePoint 2013 Social - Yammer

► Disconnected user experience between 2 platforms► Multi-domain scenario not supported by Yammer► Cost

Why we chose Not to use Yammer

Page 26: SharePoint 2013 Social - Yammer

Integration Modes

Page 27: SharePoint 2013 Social - Yammer

On Premise: Replace Social Feeds with Yammer

► Remove the SharePoint Server 2013 social web parts from My Sites and Team Sites

► Hide user interface controls that provide social functionality

► Install and configure the Yammer app for SharePoint to embed Yammer feeds (home feed, group feed, comment feed) into SharePoint sites. Full White Paper:

Page 28: SharePoint 2013 Social - Yammer

► Replacing the link

► Changing the social collaboration provider

Office 365 Integration

Page 29: SharePoint 2013 Social - Yammer

► Building a process to ensure people fill their profile and add colleagues– Small group training sessions– Part of onboarding

► Executive buy in and participation► Updating status – chore or fun?► Use as channel for news, announcements etc. to get people used

to getting information this way► Assign local champions

Implementing Social Networks

Page 30: SharePoint 2013 Social - Yammer

► Very specific to the current and planned situation of each company

► On Prem – SharePoint Social unless the organization is already on Yammer

► Cloud: Try yammer on a smaller scale and see how it works if you have EA.
