Feature
Social business software has morphed from a headline to a must-have in the past 15 years.
Back then, providers like Jive Software and Socialcast (now VMware-owned) made headlines at tech conferences and earned in-depth reports in publications like the New York Times and Wall Street Journal.Now numerousenterprise solution providers struggle todifferentiate themselves on the sophistication of their platforms and the pain points they address.
Today Palo Alto, Calif.-based Jive upped the ante on its offerings with three new tailored solutions for departments and industry verticals — Jive for Healthcare Collaboration, Jive for Employee Engagement and Jive for Customer Engagement.
It also announced the latest releases of Jive-n and Jive-x, its internal and external community products. They include a consumer-inspired redesign and new optimized processes to engage employees, customers and partners.
Make It User Friendly
Nick Hill, vice president of product management, Jive Software, told CMSWire the objective is to simply help employees work better and more efficiently.
But any solution is only as good as the level of user engagement it generates, added John Schneider, vice president of product marketing at Jive.
To address this reality, Jive redesigned its product portfolio. It also added in new optimized processes and new user interfaces.
The result: features such as blog posts are now designed to invite pictures, which will win attention more quickly than words. The information that is presented to workers is user-centric — intelligent streams and email digests put the content that matters most first.
There are also a few new participatory engagement features like color-coded events so that others are aware that you’ll be “there,” and another that helps you recognize your peers for exceptional performance.
