![]() For years Iâve been lecturing on " Don't forget the ME in social media." What I mean by that is, it's important for a collaboration tool to show people the impact and reach of their own content. MyPOV: This is one of the announcements Iâm the most excited about. > "With Impact Metrics, executives and information workers can view how their internal blogs and strategy documents have been received, including sentiment analysis, readers, whether the message has gotten through to the targeted departments, and who's actions have driven the distribution and improved message reach." Social Task Management is a simply way of organizing the tasks and projects people are working on. Now rather than just having conversations, people can assign tasks to posts, files, blogs and other content within Jive. The integration of Producteev directly into Jiveâs native features is a very welcome addition. MyPOV: As the use of social tools increases so to does the overload of information and challenge in trying to find what needs your attention. > "Full integration of Producteev's (which Jive acquired Nov 5, 2012) Social Task Management software." MyPOV: I'm glad to see Jive embrace (vs shy away from) the term portal, a word which some people may view as old and out of style. While "Social Intranet" may be more buzzword compliant, a portal, or window into something, is exactly what Jive is, as it provides an interface in which people can find and interact with people and content contained both within Jive as well as several other cloud services. These integrations mean people can spend more time getting their work done in Jive versus switching back and forth between multiple tools.īelow I provide my point of view (MyPOV) on some of the specific product announcements. Similarly, Jive (via some of their own development + the acquisition of StreamOnce) provide very good integration with popular cloud based tools like Evernote, Box, Marketo, and more. ![]() If Jive can win over these customers now, it could prevent them from looking at similar offerings from Google (like Google+ and Hangouts), Microsoft (SharePoint, Yammer) and other collaboration vendors. ![]() ![]() The integration with Google's products is a smart move, as the mid-size market is filled with Google Apps for Business customers who are looking for additional social capabilities that Google has not yet fully delivered. While features like better task management, integrated instant messaging, improved profiles and directory are not necessarily innovative (and in many places catchup), they do all contribute to enhancing the platform in ways that new customers and prospects will appreciate. Jive has focused on delivering incremental enhancements that improve the way employees can use Jive to get their jobs done. I much prefer JiveWorld's new slogan "Get Real" over previous "new way to work" style messaging. Rather than continuing to preaching about how organizations should dramatically change the way people work, "Get Real" reflects how social business has matured beyond simple sharing to what I refer to as purposeful collaboration. Today at the 5th annual JiveWorld conference in Las Vegas, in front of approximately 1600 attendees, Jive Software announced their upcoming Fall Cloud release, Jive 7. Here are my high level thoughts on the event and today's announcements.
