As Microsoft moving the most valuable Office 365 IT Pro discussion network from Yammer to new lithium based Office 365 Network, most of the people’s feeling is what Microsoft going to do with Yammer. Whether they are going kill Yammer to promote Office 365 Groups? or they have any other idea?.
Yammer is not dead, it’s growing as a part of Office 365 Groups service. That’s a good thing for your users and team scenarios.

As prior step, all of these changes and value adds, rely on having the switch that says ‘Enforce O365 Identity‘ pushed in Yammer. As Yammer becomes a core service for your organization, you’ll want users to be able to log into it seamlessly, just like any other Office 365 service. Additionally, you’ll probably want to maintain a single identity for all Office 365 users for easier user management. You can achieve both of these goals by enforcing Office 365 identity in Yammer.
