share point fest presentation v3
DESCRIPTION
In 2012, Microsoft Office General Manager Jared Spataro told the audience at the SharePoint Conference that "Microsoft is all in on Yammer and SharePoint." Spataro made it clear — Yammer would be the social collaboration tool of choice for SharePoint going forward. Office 365 would be the first major beneficiary of Yammer integration, but SharePoint on-premises would see integration in future service pack releases. Microsoft would support SharePoint 2013's out of the box social features for a period of time, but they would not be enhanced or developed further. This sent shock waves of confusion and concern throughout the SharePoint Community and has spurred heated discussion since. Two years later we've seen a significant shift in SharePoint's direction and its future. Spataro recently updated the future of SharePoint and Yammer in a Blog post called "Work like a network! Enterprise social and the future of work." For most SharePoint customers this presents a major fork in the road. One path points to Office 365 and the Microsoft cloud, the other path towards SharePoint on-premises. Questions like "Which path do we choose?" "What will the consequences be?" and "What will we do with our legacy SharePoint Social implementation?" are being asked across the board. These are interesting questions to ponder but while companies wait, Microsoft continues to enhance the Office 365 version of SharePoint and Yammer at a much faster pace than SharePoint 2013 on-premises. This Presentation will provide you with the various paths to integrating Yammer into your SharePoint 2013 environment (On-Prem and Online)and the steps to make it a reality.TRANSCRIPT

A Brief History of Social in SharePoint
2003
Blogs, Wikis and My Sites in SharePoint
2007 started to set up the social collaboration
story
Discussion boards were introduced into SharePoint 2003
SharePoint 2013 enhanced the social
features with upgraded micro-blogging, tags,
and the follow concept (follow anything)
Microsoft integrates Yammer into SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint Online (Office 365)
2014
Microsoft acquires Yammer for $1.2B
SharePoint 2010 added social tags, note boards, and micro-blogging to extend the social features
The SharePoint Social Dilemma Organizations are struggling with what to do about Social in
SharePoint
Should we move to Yammer?
Should we keep using OOB SharePoint Social?
Use both?
How do we migrate?
What about SharePoint Online?
What about SharePoint 2013 On-Prem?
What about SharePoint 2007 and 2010?
Can you integrate Yammer into legacy versions?
Should You Move to Yammer? It depends on what your situation is…
If you’re heavily compliant and can’t use the cloud then stay with the OOB social features There are several third party on-prem social
solutions that are still available Sitrion (formerly NewsGator) is still a viable
solution Beezy – Similar to Sitrion
If you’re not bound by compliance then what is your propensity for using the Cloud? Many companies are employing a wait and see
approachMany are embracing it openly
If you are open to using the Cloud then integrate Yammer into SharePoint…!!!
Should You Use SharePoint OOB Social and Yammer? Many organizations are using both…!!!
In a recent survey – 65% of companies using Yammer and SharePoint have kept both in place
You don’t have to rip and replace
You can use the On-Prem social features and use the Yammer feed in place of the SharePoint feed
If you don’t want to use both - you have to decide how far you want to go
Rip out the Activity Feed?
Remove the SharePoint Follow feature?
I recommend leaving the social features in SharePoint 2013 alone and adding Yammer as the default Social Activity Feed…!!!
How Do You Migrate to Yammer? Many organizations are struggling to manage the migration
process
Unfortunately there isn’t an easy way to do this
If you migrate your existing On-Prem Activity Feeds to Yammer you have to do this manually.
You’ll have to re-create the groups in Yammer and then move the conversations over
This is a very arduous process… Think long and hard about doing this…!!!

Making It Work
Making Yammer Work in Production Use DirSync to add AD Users to Yammer
http://technet.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/dn457819.aspx
Remember – Yammer and SharePoint use different authentication stores for now
Users will have to maintain passwords in AD and Yammer
The Authentication Stored will be integrated in the future
Create a Yammer Group Per SharePoint Site
Sometimes the Group Link will break
You’ll need to reset the Group ID on the App or Web Part
You may see your Group Posts go to the All Company feed when this happens
Remember that Documents can be stored in the Yammer Feed
You’ll have to figure out how to manage document versions and when they need to be stored in SharePoint
You’ll need to define the Best Practice that works for your organization
