Information is the lifeblood of business today, no matter how small and large your business may be. From customer’s interests to rising market needs, we need a lot of information to make the right decisions day to day and hour to hour.

But here is the catch, with billions of websites, ever-evolving digital media, and hundreds of social media profiles, finding information that matters become a difficult task for businesses.

“Why does my business need Yammer?”, it’s a question we get asked a lot at Greendata along with “Where did they come up with that name?”. So we thought we better let you know what Yammer does and how it can help you and your business.
