Manage Yammer with Microsoft Intune
When you subscribe to Microsoft Intune, you can use mobile application management (MAM) with Yammer along with other apps. MAM allows you to manage and protect data in an app on a device even if it is not enrolled in mobile device management (MDM).
Manage Yammer with MAM
