Nanette de Villiers, Intervate technology consultant and Yammer certified community manager, comments: “Intervate understands the value of enterprise social networking which is to improve communication and collaboration within organisations. Partnering with Yammer means that we can provide our customers with the benefit of the planning, consulting and implementation collateral within the Yammer Customer Engagement Partner Program.
“The programme includes methodologies such as the ‘social journey’ which are tried and tested approaches and solutions for enterprises to make the most of their enterprise social networking experience and journey.
“Being selected by Microsoft to partner with Yammer and complete the YCEPP training and certification means that Intervate is proficient in the Yammer space. Furthermore, we can engage with customers and present them with an end-to-end enterprise social experience, enhance collaboration across geographies and roles, break down silos and improve productivity in our clients’ businesses.”
