The Jive SBS Foundation

Built for the enterprise from the ground up.

Jive Social Business Software is next generation enterprise communication and collaboration software that outperforms traditional enterprise vendors for one simple reason: our business was born and built on the web. We're laser-focused on innovating, refining and optimizing a social business solution to transform enterprise communication and collaboration. Our efforts have resulted in a robust, enterprise-tested foundation that's 8-years mature and sets the standard for the industry. We host public communities with 80 million+ page views per month and employee communities with 20,000+ active users.

Features

Most enterprises have a very diverse user base, some who are more conversant than others with wikis, blogs, discussion forums, social networking. Jive has the best user adoption rates in the industry, in large part due to our award-winning, highly intuitive interface and the market-leading features we're integrated into our platform.
