President of Operations for Montreal Area at Transitions service conseil
Has an excellent Database Management System and high level of services, performance, and availability
We will need to implement prototypes in our data warehouse. We will have to implement and to support some different types of files like video, audio, pictures, and non-structured data. So we are working on that. We would like better integration for data security. We will have many partners, eight or nine external partners. We will still use our system to upgrade our warehouse. But with many partners, the data warehouse will not be unique. It will be a distributed data platform. So we would need and we are looking for many services to better manage the integrity and the use of all of the data. We are receiving all these data from trains and trucks that are working on the highways and on the roads. We will have to implement some facilities to adequately use all this data at a really high volume coming from IoT. So we are not choosing that and we will have to implement some services. Right now, we don't have any monitoring. We do have major density and access control, but when a user is in our environment, we do not have the services to really measure what he is doing. I will have to report in three months on the project and its evolution. I don't have the financials and the best practices regarding the financial models with costs and benefits for a major data platform with many partners. We will know what it will cost, but we will have to define some benefits because when I will be at the treasury board asking for a major project, they will ask me what would the benefits from that will be. I'm doing research into best practices. I know that the U.S. government has a platform like the one we want to build. It is a bigger one, from what I understand. I think that the state of California and maybe the state of New York has the type of platform we want to put in place. I would like to present more than just an article. I would like to have a reference model, to really be on target by showing the benefits that are possible down the road.

Creates user groups and streamlines communication
I think we should have some improvements in Yammer, similar to what we have in Facebook and others, where we can have targeted communications, so that we can filter some communications to go to a specific subset of that group, not to everybody. We would love to have some AI technologies included in Yammer, but I do not have a specific use case in mind right now.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This solution has automated protection from downtime. High-availability is built into every component, and the backups are completely automated."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that it is self-driving, self-securing, and self-repairing."
"We have really high level of services, performance, availability, and it is stable, and everything works together really well."
"Yammer is useful since it is a product you can easily integrate into our system since Microsoft supports it."
"It has improved information sharing across the company which allows for problems to be solved much faster."
"The integration with Teams is the biggest value for us."
"It was reasonably good at creating online communities of interest."
"Enables internal communication between different countries and locations."
"Productivity can be increased as colleagues from across the world share their knowledge and experiences, reducing the need to create deliverables that may have been previously created."
"The initial setup was simple and straightforward."
"External collaboration with partners: There is a unified way to send updates about departments and the enterprise, rather than sending separate communications."
 

Cons

"Right now, we don't have any monitoring."
"The price of licenses is high and should be improved."
"There needs to be an "Edit" functionality for posts and replies because grammar and spelling mistakes do happen."
"We had some scalability issues."
"They need to somehow enable better document sharing features. They need to provide joint drafting of documents."
"We tried to integrate into SharePoint, but it was not really efficient."
"The lack of integration into the Microsoft Office 365 made it difficult to champion throughout the organization."
"The solution must be able to stream by itself, without integration, the same way that you are able to do it on Facebook Live, Instagram, etc. Streaming must be embedded into it."
"There is a need for full integration with the other features of Office 365."
"If you are not an Office 365 shop, then there are probably better options (i.e., Slack, Facebook for Work)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Yammer is a pretty cheap solution, and it's included in multiple subscriptions."
"I don't know about the pricing. Now that Microsoft has bought Yammer, it should be a part of our subscriptions for Office 365."
"The pricing is not bad."
"Its cost is included in the license bundle for Microsoft."
"We get it as part of our Office 365 subscriptions, so I don't think we pay any additional cost for Yammer. It's included in the Office 365 subscriptions."
"Compared to other products like Amazon, Yammer's pricing is fine."
"I think that there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
