OneDrive for Business Sites Yammer
“Where I keep docs that I’m working on that
are in progress or confidential for my eyes
only.”
“Where I share a one-off document with
someone outside my organization.”
“Where I store documents for my
team or project.”
“Where documents are stored that I
publish for use by the rest of the
company.”
“We don’t store documents here, we
create a link from the sites.”

management
• Robust eco-system of 3rd party add-on products
Not good for –
• Social – unsophisticated toolset, never fully integrated
• The look and feel is what it is
• If custom, can be expensive to maintain
• Internet sites
