Because traditional enterprise software requires your IT department to install software, create users, and drive adoption among employees, many of you have asked "how do I get my company to start using Yammer?" Here are three simple steps that you can use to create your company's network on Yammer:
- Go to Yammer.com and enter your company email address
- Use the email we sent you to confirm your email address
- Enter your profile information and invite your colleagues
That's it! You have now created the Yammer network at your company. Even better, if anyone else has already started the network, you can use the same three steps to join the existing network.
Make sure you introduce yourself with a hello message when you join your network. When you post a message to Yammer, it can only be read by others in your network. The privacy of your company network is ensured by limiting access to those with a valid company email address.
Remember, your Yammer network is more useful as more of your colleagues join Yammer, so make sure you invite other in your group, thought leaders, and anyone else you are interested in.
Here are a few other notes in response to feedback we have received:
- User accounts are always free and admin accounts are not required
- There are no limits to the number of users on a network
- No required software to download and install
- SSL and SMS are always included for free
- Anyone on the network can suspend former employees by making them re-confirm their email
We are rapidly developing additional features for Yammer, and would love to hear your feedback. Visit the Yammer Forum to let us know what you think.
