After using Jive Forums for over two years internally to power the https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/collaboration[SAP Developer Network|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/collaboration] (SDN), the folks at SAP saw a huge growth in participation, as well as a desire by their customers to have the same community collaboration functionality on the SAP stack.
So we just signed an OEM agreement whereby SAP will include Jive Forums as a standard part of the SAP NetWeaver portal application. You can check out the huge growth in participation[press release|http://www.jivesoftware.com/company/pr/sap.jsp] for more information.
Needless to say, we're fired up about the deal. Any chance we have to get our application into the hands of more users is great, and you can't do much better than SAP for broad distribution :).
Congratulations to you, Matt, and all the Jive folks. It's fantastic when you can effectively enlarge Jive's salesforce to include the SAP NetWeaver sales team for selling Jive Forums licenses.
SAP obviously feels that it's a worthwhile addition to the NetWeaver suite and that it keeps NetWeaver competitive. Here's hoping the deal drives a lot more growth for Jive.
