We’re excited to announce that French research firm Lecko has ranked Jive as a global leader in its Supporting and Preparing Your Business for Change: Latest Developments in Enterprise Social Networking, Volume 8 report for the third year in a row. This latest recognition by Lecko follows several major industry reports that named Jive one of the top vendors in enterprise collaboration, including research from Gartner, Inc., Forrester Research and Aragon Research.
