Integrating With Microsoft Dynamics Yammer integrates directly into Microsoft Dynamics Online work areas, enabling real-time collaboration as well as control over conversations and system posts. • Aggregate updates from Dynamics into Yammer’s Ticker making it a central hub for business activity. • Use Yammer’s Universal Search to find and discover Dynamics records. • Administrators can control who may post, and what types of records create posts automatically. • Users can control the amount of information they see using the Follow and Unfollow buttons.

  13. Integrating Yammer With Salesforce Yammer uses the Open Graph protocol to integrates with Salesforce.com and enable a seamless experience between both applications. • Use the Open Graph protocol to help your users engage in meaningful, productive discussion around objects in other applications. • Open objects within Salesforce, maintaining security and access control over your objects, even in the Yammer feed. • Each object has its own dedicated ticker, displaying updates and conversations about that object.

  16. Yammer and the Enterprise Graph Yammer uses the Open Graph protocol to connect applications to create the Enterprise Graph: a single mapping of people and objects they encounter at work. The Open Graph protocol provides an efficient framework for understanding data, where an action defines the relationship between a person and an object. With this framework, employees can collaborate on anything within the Enterprise Graph.
