Jivespace : Thread List - Internal Collaboration

Do reputation points help or hurt?

gia.lyons@jivesoftware.com — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:54:31 GMT

I have customers who take a look at the reputation points available in the solution I sell, and say, "that will never work here." I know they work well in external communities, but do they work inside the firewall? If so, what attributes of your culture make it successful?

Document Management - What to you do? (or think)

communities@jivesoftware.com — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 20:25:54 GMT

I'd like to know how other businesses manage documents within or outside an enterprise social collaboration tool. This is an area we are struggling with and has already crippled performance on our enterprise portal and wiki environment. I don't want the same thing happening if we roll out a social collaboration solution. I also don't want this platform to be a dumping ground for documents. Iv'e heard others that accomplish this through policies and file size limitations. I would ultimately like to find a more elegant solution (e.g. one button publish from clearspace to a backend doc management tool).

Any comments ?

communities@jivesoftware.com — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:45:21 GMT

Hi I've had a few people enquire about Slideshare and whether it will be easily embeddable in Jive SBS 4.0?

Any clarification will be much appreciated.

Building the Business Case for Enterprise 2.0

gia.lyons@jivesoftware.com — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 17:10:35 GMT

I'd like to continue the discussion that began during the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston in June 2008. I've copied the original question here, posted by Keri Pearlson from nGenera, a conference attendee:

We've been working with a number of clients who ask us about the compelling reason(s) for Enterprise 2.0. We hear "Show me the money" "Show me the value" "Show me the productivity benefits" , the rallying cry of traditional business cases.
But we very few companies seem to be able to build a compelling business case for Enterprise 2.0.
Have you had success building a compelling business case? If so, please share with us what you've used to justify the investment(s). What are the key components?

Aberdeen survey on the use of social business software

communities@jivesoftware.com — Mon, 18 May 2009 17:05:36 GMT

Aberdeen is currently conducting a large research project - which always starts with a survey - on how corporatations are leveraging web 2.0 and social business software solutions around the employee engagement use-case. You can obtain a free copy of the report by completing their survey here - http://www.aberdeen.com/survey/wtm09jiv.

I believe the report itself will come out in June. Also, in full disclosure, Jive IS NOT financially sponsoring this report in anyway. I just thought it might be something that Clearstep members may be interested in.

Do you have a "vision" for your internal community?

communities@jivesoftware.com — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 13:36:26 GMT

Besides the daily/weekly/monthy tasks that it takes to keep people connected and your community running - do you have a far reaching vidion of how you see your internal community in the future? I'd love to hear any insights you may have on the future of this medium/platform for internal communication and employee engagement.

Confidential Information and Admin Rights

communities@jivesoftware.com — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 22:06:02 GMT

We have several Space Admin at the root level who make changes to specific functions only available to them at that level. Having several of these Space Admin seemed fine until yesterday when information in a private group was made accessible to one of the root level Space Admin.

If certain functions are only allowed at root level Space Admin or System Admin levels, what is best practice for being able to give access for individuals to do tactical updates (custom-css, adding new content widgets to all content page, etc.) but not have them inadvertently sent private information from a private group because they happened to be following a user's content updates.

What are other companies doing around this issue?

We have toyed with the idea of creating an admin account for these tactical updates, but wanted to see what other companies are doing or what Jive experts suggest.

Quick reminder:

gia.lyons@jivesoftware.com — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 19:21:02 GMT

Hi everyone,

Just a quick reminder that this space has never been private, and is readable by anyone, anonymously. This was also the case when it was part of Clearstep. Also, note that your Profile - when it was on Clearstep and now, on Jivespace - has always been viewable by anonymous viewers. Make certain that you have set visibility preferences about your full name and email address by navigating to your profile and clicking "Edit Profile" in the Actions menu on the right.

(I received a direct email from a community member about this, so thought I'd make it a public service announcement).

Is/has anyone else considering/evaluating both Jive and IBM Connections?

communities@jivesoftware.com — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 20:23:52 GMT

Hello everyone, I work for a large pharma company in Australia, we've run a few social media pilots and have quite a sucessful confluence community.

We're a big IBM user so our IT team are very keen that we adopt IBM connections and pushing its use, but it doesn't appear to be as clever or useable as Jive which seems to meet more of our need. Plus the users I've shown it to seem to like it better. I'd be really keen to know if anyone else has considered or evaluated both Jive and Connections and, if you did, what you thought of the two products?

thanks for your time

Help obtaining management support for Jive

communities@jivesoftware.com — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 06:34:17 GMT

Next week we are presenting to management to attempt to convince them to deploy Jive as a business collaboration tool.

I was wondering if others had given similar presentations or business cases that we could leverage off.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
