Make your Jive intranet more engaging by enabling users to create, share and consume HD-quality video content.

Users can serve up a library of categorized videos and even create and post viral videos right from their mobile devices.

The wide-screen format is perfect for web consumption and automatically re-sizes for streaming to mobile devices. Users can rate, like, bookmark, add comments and even chat with who’s “watching now” using Jive’s real time capabilities.

It’s never been easier to create video, whether recording on a video camera, webcam or mobile device. You can upload videos from your desktop, smartphone or tablet, and embed them in Jive blogs, documents and discussions. You can embed videos directly from other sources like YouTube or Vimeo, too. The result is a rich multimedia experience, better-informed workforce and reduced costs on training and support.

Jive’s Ideation feature takes brainstorming and collective innovation to a whole new level.

It enables Jive intranet users to easily submit ideas to colleagues, who can then vote them up or down. You sort and filter ideas based on their stage, popularity or date created – making it easy to identify the most promising concepts and reward the best innovators and collaborators.

• Tap the power of crowdsourcing while giving employees a voice
• Harness the combined creativity of your workforce
• Provide clear visibility for ideation up the management chain
• Align innovation with global market objectives by making the ideation process borderless
• Preserve the history of ideas, while using Jive to collaborate on their implementation

Now you can collaborate seamlessly with your entire extended team, including those outside the firewall, right in Jive.

Jive makes it easy to create an Externally Accessible Group, invite team members in and get to work. Complete security and permissions controls let you specify who sees what, without exposing confidential information to people outside the company or outside the relationship.

If you need to extract content records for specific users during a time period, you can export current records of content a user interacted with during selected dates.

This information includes content the user has created, edited, replied to or commented on within a specific date range. You can optionally search for interactions containing a key word or phrase. The result is you have full documentation of what’s happened in your community on a moment’s notice.

Now you can take your social business network with you everywhere on the web.

Jive Anywhere is a simple browser plug-in that installs in seconds with no IT involvement and no expense. It’s the most cost-effective integration ever, instantly bringing Jive social capabilities to a vast array of resources, systems and applications.

Visiting a website or using a web app? Just click the Jive Anywhere tab in your browser. A sidebar opens, showing you related conversations, documents and groups in your Jive network. You can see what your colleagues are saying, start a discussion, launch a group and more.

Say you’re checking out a sales opportunity in Salesforce, or a job candidate in LinkedIn, or document in Google Docs.

Just click Jive Anywhere to collaborate, discuss and share feedback with your team. The same goes for your own in-house systems. Jive Anywhere adds social interaction to static intranets, invoicing systems and other legacy web apps.

With its Snapshots feature, Jive Anywhere captures data from any website or web app and brings it into Jive. Just click to embed HTML content from an external website or internal enterprise system directly in a Jive discussion, keeping the original styles, images and hyperlinks. Marketers can share Google Analytics data, social media monitoring dashboards and lead reports. Sales can discuss pipeline reports. HR can share LinkedIn profiles.

Using our SDK, you can build your own Jive Anywhere “cartridges” to instantly capture key data from web-based systems. Import a live feed from your CRM, your ERP or other system of record and embed it in a Jive group or discussion, where everyone can view and leverage the data. The possibilities are endless.

Unify Your Corporate Directory

One of the features that make Jive such a powerful collaboration and communication environment is its rich user profiles, which go way beyond the usual name, rank and contact information found in most employee directories. Jive profiles include skills, activity, endorsements, connections and more – providing detailed portraits that help coworkers get to know each other, find experts and quickly assemble effective teams. And the richer the information, the better things get.

That’s why we created Jive User Sync. User Sync automatically pulls in user data from external systems, consolidating relevant employee information in Jive to create a single, unified directory unlike anything before. User Sync not only helps you build the ultimate company directory, but it also simplifies administration and management by letting you automatically provision and de-provision accounts, build your organizational chart, and leverage existing security groups when setting up your community permissions.

How It Works

Like most companies, you’ve probably accumulated employee data in a variety of directory and identity management systems. While Jive provides synchronization with your Active Directory or LDAP server as a standard feature, User Sync goes much further, letting you import data from anyexternal system into Jive and providing a way to aggregate all key employee information in one place.

All that’s required is that you upload CSV files containing the relevant data to Jive’s SFTP server. We do the rest, automatically syncing the information with your Jive instance on a nightly basis. User Sync is available in both Basic and Advanced versions.

Jive Basic User Sync

Jive Basic User Sync provides basic sync capabilities for community managers who want to keep their employee directory current, but who don’t have a large number of profile fields or need more advanced features like org chart and security group sync. There’s no need to worry about license limits – users don’t count against your license until they’ve logged in at least once.

Secure File Transfer

Transfer a CSV file with your user data to Jive’s SFTP server on a nightly basis, and Jive Basic User Sync will automatically read your file and update your community accordingly. No VPN is required. If you are not able to produce a file in the required format, Jive Professional Services can write a process to transform your file into the expected format for a small additional fee.

Create & Update Users Nightly

Send basic user details and up to five profile fields in the CSV file, and your employee directory will automatically be kept up-to-date on a nightly basis. Users may be created as native accounts or as externally federated. Native users will have an auto-generated first-time password emailed to them in a welcome email. All profile fields are optional.

Basic user details are required, and include:

• Primary ID. Must be permanent and unique and can be any of the following:
  • SAML SSO ID
  • Username
  • Email
• First Name
• Last Name
• Email
• Username

Jive Advanced User Sync

Advanced User Sync includes all the capabilities of Basic User Sync, but supports ten times as many profile fields, along with advanced features like org chart sync and security group sync.

Extended Profiles

Up to 50 profile fields may be mapped for community managers who have a more extensive collection of user data in external systems. More data means better search results and better connections across your organization.

Org Chart Sync

Simply pass the unique ID of each user’s manager and we’ll automatically build a visually rich org chart for you inside your Jive community.

Security Group Sync

If you’ve already created security groups in systems outside of Jive (such as SharePoint permission groups), the security group sync feature offers a way to push those groups and their user memberships into Jive as permission groups. Once loaded, you can use the same permission groups to control access to content and places within your Jive community.

Account Activation

You can ensure that your Jive people directory is kept current simply by passing an enabled status for each user. Disabled user accounts will no longer appear in the directory or search results.

Advanced Reporting

Quickly see which records from your file had errors (and why) and get a report on the process statistics. Sync results are emailed nightly and archived for easy download within the SFTP server.

That’s why we created Jive Insights Advanced.
