Yammer Communities Product Overview

S
sapfelbe

This document introduces Yammer Communities, which allow separate communication networks to be created for external groups like customers, partners, and fans. Communities are separate from a company's main Yammer network and allow membership and messages to be controlled privately. They have a "parent" company network and membership is controlled by a Community admin, ensuring external users cannot see the private company network. Users can easily switch between different networks and communities.
