Enterprise social networks like Microsoft Yammer are giving companies a whole new way to work, boosting productivity, and helping employees collaborate and share knowledge.

However, many companies haven’t been able to use Yammer, because they’re still looking for a solution to manage their compliance or e-discovery obligations. Similar to email and social media communications on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook, internal social communication on Yammer must be retained, searchable, and ready to produce on-demand, especially when regulators ask for specific conversations on this network during an exam.

So, can your firm use Yammer, while meeting the retention and supervision requirements of industry regulators? Yes, if it’s supplemented with a comprehensive solution that helps your organization archive and supervise all content and conversations on this platform.

To help you navigate regulatory requirements (and solutions!) related to Yammer, we’ve compiled the following articles and resources for you.
