PORTLAND, OR, March 25, 2009 - Jive, the Social Business Software leader, announced that Harmony Central selected Jive to help its clients become better musicians. Harmony Central is the number one online community for musicians. By leveraging the power of Jive Social Business Software (SBS), which combines the best features of social networking and community software, Harmony Central is allowing its customers to become its greatest advocates. Musicians can get direct recommendations on the latest gear and make connections with other musicians to improve their skills.
The company's site, HarmonyCentral.com, allows musicians to discover the latest information on gear and trends in the music industry, learn tips and tricks to become better musicians and connect to other musicians with similar interests. Harmony Central evaluated many vendors and selected Jive SBS for several reasons:
- Jive's ease of use and rich and engaging experience;

"Musicians look to each other for guidance on what gear to use. Harmony Central allows us to provide that connection to our customers by allowing them to quickly and easily find the people and knowledge they need to become better musicians."
"Marketing is no longer about how big your budget is or how many print ads you have," said Dave Hersh, CEO, Jive Software. "Harmony Central is a fantastic example of how a company empowers its customers to become its biggest promoters."
