How Would You Work Without Email?

How Would You Work Without Email?

By Jacob Morgan on March 11, 2013

Sometimes when I speak with clients or companies interested in understanding the future of work and collaboration it helps to put things into an interesting perspective.  There are many people (including business leaders) out there who are still not up to speed on what is happening in the world of enterprise social software, collaboration, and the future […]

Bridging the Chasm Between IT and the Business

Bridging the Chasm Between IT and the Business

By Ben Kepes on January 18, 2013

People go to great lengths to explain how cloud computing is democratizing IT and enabling the end-users of technology to make some decisions themselves about what they use, how they use it and how quickly they can get set up. A plethora of enterprise vendors have got their start in

Indicee Launches Analytics for Chatter

Indicee Launches Analytics for Chatter

By Ben Kepes on August 29, 2012

I’ve been using Salesforce Chatter for a few years now, I’ve also used other so-called enterprise social tools – Yammer and Socialcast for instance. While these tools are useful for small teams directly engaged in projects, it has always struck me that there is a lot of value left on the table when it comes […]

With Yammer, Microsoft Begins Its Journey From Collaborative To Social

With Yammer, Microsoft Begins Its Journey From Collaborative To Social

By Chirag Mehta on June 25, 2012

Confirming what we already knew, today Microsoft announced they are acquiring Yammer for $1.2 billion in cold cash. Here’s a blog post by David Sacks, the CEO of Yammer. Microsoft doesn’t report a revenue breakdown for their individual products but SharePoint is believed to be one of the fastest growing products with annual revenue of […]

Microsoft Buys Yammer- A Two Minute Analysis

Microsoft Buys Yammer- A Two Minute Analysis

By Ben Kepes on June 25, 2012

So Microsoft has confirmed the rumored acquisition of Yammer for $1.2B. Here’s my thoughts; Potentially this is a great opportunity for MSFT to create a fabric that spans their different enterprise products (Dynamics, Office, SharePoint) that’s a big big opportunity but I believe technology and platform hurdles will push that possibility well into the future […]

Is Adoption the New ROI of Collaboration?

Is Adoption the New ROI of Collaboration?

By Jacob Morgan on June 14, 2012

This was the message that Yammer’s CTO and Co-Founder Adam Pisoni delivered at the Info360 Conference in NYC this morning.  While I’m not sure that the title of the presentation translated into the actual content, the presentation itself was great; filled with useful stats, telling visuals, and relevant analogies.  It’s actually a good thing that […]

Social – An Enterprise Overlay, or an Enterprise Fabric?

Social – An Enterprise Overlay, or an Enterprise Fabric?

By Ben Kepes on June 12, 2012

On a recent trip to San Francisco I spent talking with both salesforce and NetSuite people about their approach and general view of “social” as it relates to enterprise software. I call out these two vendors because while both are cloud-centric enterprise software companies, they have very different views on social. In fact, salesforce and […]

Oh Google, why did you stop being sexy?

[Image by Exey Panteleev] Born out of a tweet from Tom Raftery, who pointed me to Google’s Terms of Services concerning their latest love child: Google Drive I waved at Google Wave, Buzz didn’t thrill me other than enabling the opt-out in Google Mail, and I jumped onto Google+ as soon as I could but […]

ROI of Collaboration Comes from Hindsight not Foresight

ROI of Collaboration Comes from Hindsight not Foresight

By Jacob Morgan on April 25, 2012

I just came back from a Yammer event in San Francisco where several of their customers (7-11, Deloitte, Westfield, and others) shared their experiences and insights from using the product.  The question of ROI and measurement came up as it always does.  The customer panel said something which I have been saying for quite some […]

What the Yammer Acquisition of oneDrum Means

By Jacob Morgan on April 16, 2012

If you haven’t heard yet, enterprise social network software company Yammer has made their first acquisition with oneDrum, a vendor that I reviewed towards the end of last year.  If you even been sort of following the enterprise collaboration space you will know that Yammer is growing rapidly and raising more money to keep that […]

Tibbr Leaps Forward With GEO Feature And HTML5

By Krishnan Subramanian on January 25, 2012

Tibbr (previous CloudAve coverage), Tibco’s social tool competing with the likes of Chatter, released a new version, Tibbr 3.5 with two new features which makes the product pretty hot in the market. In fact, I have been pretty impressed with Tibbr by the time it came into the market. Unlike many companies who were totally clueless […]

How Yammer Should Have Responded to the TechCrunch Ad Hominem

How Yammer Should Have Responded to the TechCrunch Ad Hominem

By Mark Fidelman on January 10, 2012

I can’t help but laugh at the TechCrunch gang’s corporate ad hominem last week. It seemed more of a personal attack than any real attempt to provide a product review. TechCrunch didn’t merely reproach their building mate, they reprimanded them. Stranger, most of the article really didn’t say anything at all, because they were not […]

This CEO Isn’t Afraid to Take on Jive Software or Salesforce.com

This CEO Isn’t Afraid to Take on Jive Software or Salesforce.com

By Mark Fidelman on September 7, 2011

Yammer thrives. The herd mentality around the enterprise activity stream is driving its competitors to emulate their every move.  Jive’s done it.  So has Salesforce.com, SocialText, Newsgator, Moxie Software and IBM Connections. From the Fortune 500 to the Fortuneless company of one, the activity stream is supplanting email for many forms of business communication. What’s […]
