Jared Spataro, senior director of the Microsoft Office Division, said in a blog post that Microsoft is now welcoming the Yammer team as part of the Office Division. It’s a rapid integration, as Microsoft only announced just last month that it was planning to acquire enterprise social networking company Yammer for $1.2 billion in cash. Senior Microsoft officials said at that time that Yammer’s technology may be integrated into products such as Microsoft Office, Office 365, Dynamics CRM and the Skype voice-over-IP service. Microsoft bought Skype a year ago for a reported $8.5 billion.
