At Yammer, we’re focused on transforming how employees get work done by making companies more open and connected. We’ll be the first to tell you that it’s not all about the technology or the software. It’s about the people who use it. And, we’ve learned that each company has its own goals when it comes to an enterprise social strategy. Our Customer Engagement team has worked with leading companies to launch successful networks that scale to meet strategic goals. One of the most important things we do is measure business value for our customers.
