“Teekay Corporation has grown from a regional shipping company into one of the world’s largest marine energy transportation, storage and production companies. It operates 170 ships and has global operations in 20 countries. On the surface, this might sound like a group of traditional salty dog sailors, but it has successfully operated a social intranet [since 2011]. Using Yammer, Teekay uses an enterprise social network (social intranet) to break down geographical barriers and connect people, regardless of location. Ironically, Yammer replaced SharePoint as the former main intranet technology. SharePoint still exists today, but is relegated to file management and some project management.”
