Jive launches next generation of enterprise social

Jive Software has launched a new release of its enterprise social software that promises to enable collaboration via any web application or web site.

As users visit a website or use a web-based application, Jive Anywhere recognises where they are and provides access to relevant conversations and content in their Jive network.

Users can take part in discussions with colleagues, view related documents and other content, and work together in groups.

The company says Jive Anywhere instantly "socialises" websites and applications such as Microsoft Dynamics, Office 365, Salesforce.com, Google Docs, SAP, NetSuite, and LinkedIn.

Jive What Matters, Jive's intelligent business activity stream, has been enhanced with a more streamlined user experience and a new capability introduced called Attention Streams.

These are personalised, curated streams focusing on specific areas of interest. Users can specify their own Attention Streams and aggregate any combination of content to keep track of particular people, departments, projects, and activities.

Jive Software is available as a 30-day trial via Jive Cloud, Jive's public cloud service.

The trial includes tools for communication and sharing, document collaboration, activity streams, mobile device support, and integration with Microsoft Outlook and Office.
