Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed, but Yammer founder and CEO David Sacks jokingly said in an interview today it was less than Instagram's $1 billion acquisition by Facebook earlier this week. All of OneDrums employees will join Yammer, with CEO Jasper Westaway leading the integration of the two products.OneDrum, which has raised $1 million in funding from Amadeus Capital Partners, UK Technology Strategy Board and Scottish Enterprise; adds secure, synchronized file sharing and collaboration (version management, multi-author document creation and editing, and communication and co-ordination tools) to existing Microsoft Office applications.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/8js_PJHUV4A/
