Just Signed a Big SAP OEM Deal

Posted by Dave Hersh on Aug 29, 2006 1:36:49 PM

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.

It looks great! I am very interested to know whether there are more news on this i.e. is Jive already included in SAP NetWeaver Portal? Where can I get the deatils? In there any document that describes how to integrate Jive in SAP NetWeaver Portal? Does it also have Wiki, Blogs, RSS Feeds, etc.?

Greetings Rajyeswar,

A product description of the Jive Forums OEM integration announced above can be found under "Collaboration" on SAP's Components & Tools of SAP Netweaver page.

 

We have maintained a very strong working relationship with SAP since this announcement was made, and of course, we have done many SAP integrations with mutual clients.
