Yammer is expanding its network of colleagues. With the addition of a handful of new partners, including Klout, Yammer is now a way to connect with favorite apps as well as with coworkers. In fact, Yammer has doubled its number of partner integrations (now at 60) since launching the Yammer App Directory in October.
By integrating with Klout, an app for showcasing your influence in the social sphere, users can now show off their influence in the workplace on their Yammer profile. Yammer admins can turn on a deeper integration with Klout to produce Yammer-specific Klout scores for employees based on their activity within their company’s Yammer network, making it a great way to identify top contributors and subject matter experts in the company. For more on the new integration of Klout, check out this blog post.
In the past few months, Yammer has also added integrations with 7Geese, a social performance management tool, and Scoop.it, a content curation platform. On the business-intelligence side, Yammer partner GoodData introduced a new and improved integration in conjunction with sentiment analysis provider Kanjoya. The updated integration combines operational reporting and sentiment analysis in the same dashboard, providing full context on the structured and unstructured data from your Yammer networks.
