Jive Software Delivers the Future of Collaboration at JiveWorld17

LAS VEGAS, May 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at JiveWorld17, Jive Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: JIVE) CEO Elisa Steele addressed the increasingly disconnected nature of the business landscape, and showed how Jive is fulfilling its promise to enable enterprise collaboration at any scale, reduce team and technology silos, and accelerate go-to-market execution. With the explosion of single-purpose apps, siloed messaging platforms and a myriad of office tool solutions, employees are often left overwhelmed and unproductive. Jive's vision is to overcome this challenge by delivering a collaboration hub that intelligently connects people, systems, content and networks inside and outside of organizations. In Las Vegas this week, the company previewed its next-generation capabilities, which are expected to be available by the end of 2017.

If you factor in all of the people, systems, IT infrastructures and security compliance requirements that are involved in business collaboration, these environments have become more complex and fragmented than ever before," said Elisa Steele, CEO of Jive Software. "We've been relentless in our focus to deliver on our Next-Generation Cloud Platform and advance the science of collaboration. As a result, we're not just enabling stronger connection in the workplace, but driving deterministic business outcomes that strengthen execution."

Jive's executive vice president of products and engineering, Ofer Ben-David, and other senior executives shared the specific technology enhancements Jive is implementing as part of its next-gen collaboration hub. They demonstrated how Jive's new infrastructure will:
