One of Yammer’s greatest benefits is the unlimited amount of internal messaging archived over time, creating a company-wide knowledge base. This knowledge base is a quick way for users to reference previous discussions around topics, keywords, and hash-tags. Not only can current employees take advantage of this feature, it is especially effective to on-board new employees, bringing them up to speed on what’s going on within the organization.
Yammer has consistently implemented features to more easily tap into this vital knowledge base. Since introducing full-time search capabilities, we have also added Advanced Search functionality so that users can specify their queries by particular users, dates, and/or groups. To make searching even better, Yammer has now improved its search speed by two magnitudes – or in other words, search just became a whole lot faster. Users will be able to search and access discussions quicker, leading to more internal knowledge and more efficient productivity.
