With so many Jivers hailing from #RipCity, it’s hard not to get up and cheer when one of our biggest hometown teams joins the Jive family. Today we’re pleased to announce that the Portland Trail Blazers selected Jive-n to power the organization’s new interactive intranet. By modernizing internal communications and collaboration, all of the employees behind the NBA franchise and other Rose Quarter events will be able to more easily get on the same page.

Jive-n will improve the Blazers’ employee on-boarding and support processes, as well as project collaboration and two-way dialogue with executives — all of which will boost alignment and engagement across the organization.

Mike Janes, Portland Trail Blazers’ VP of engineering and technology, said:

“As an organization that’s constantly evolving – not just on the basketball court, but across every aspect of our business – we need to provide employees with digital technologies that help them work better together, regardless of their preferred methods of interaction. We partnered with Jive to launch an interactive intranet because of the company’s proven success delivering communication and collaboration best practices through leading-edge, mobile-friendly, best-of-breed solutions.”

For all of us sports fans, it’s especially exciting to have the Portland Trail Blazers join the San Francisco Giants, the Minnesota Timberwolves, Cricket Australia and other sports and recreation organizations that already use Jive-n to enhance their front-office operations and event-related communications.
