Smart recommendations

Smart recommendations

Instead of having to find information, what if information found you? Jive leverages rich social intelligence (like business relationships, expertise and areas of interest) to bring you content you need to see. It keeps you posted on projects, discussions and people directly related to your work. It’s like having a really smart personal assistant.


Jive Find social search

Finally, an enterprise search engine that really works. Jive Find goes beyond search strings and keywords, applying social graph analytics and contextual insight to zero in on what you’re really looking for. So you spend less time sorting through search results and stay on task. Find people, groups, discussions, blogs, videos, images, documents, comments. Search across your customer network and SharePoint, too.


Expert finder

Expertise on demand

It’s like a corporate directory, only better. Jive’s rich profiles and search capabilities make it easy to get to know your coworkers and locate the experts in your organization. Get the know-how you need to make decisions and take action, in seconds.
