“ON24’s webcasting platform allows us to connect with Yammer users in a new and engaging way,” said Jim Patterson, vice president of Product Management, Yammer. “We use ON24 to bring educational content to large audiences in a dynamic environment that allows us to receive feedback and provide answers to questions in real time. By giving users access to their Yammer feed from the platform, they will be able to collaborate with co-workers in a town hall format, making it even more interactive.”
