Company News

--  Jive, the Social Business Software leader, today announced its first
Annual Jive Social Business Software (SBS) Awards at JiveWorld09.  Six
customers: United Business Media (UBM), NIKE Inc., National Journal
Group, CSC, Kaiser Permanente, and Swiss Re were awarded for their
outstanding achievements exemplifying the business outcomes that Social
Business Software can generate.  The award categories included Business
Impact, Community Innovation, Community Adoption, User Experience and
the Social Business Software Champion Award.
--  Business Impact - UBM was selected for its community deployment of Jive
SBS, and its role in the strategic vision of the company.  UBM's wiki
platform has the support and attention of the company's senior
leadership.  Within the first year of deploying the UBM wiki, its
community has grown to over 5,000 users, working in 35 countries.  UBM's
wiki users have created around 25,000 pages and generated around 3
million page views - delivering significant efficiencies, cost
reductions and revenue increases to the organization.
--  User Experience - NIKE Inc. was selected for its innovative use of Jive
to better connect its global network of marketers with the digital
assets they need to drive the brand forward.  Although NIKE has a
sophisticated Content Management System (CMS) in place, it was difficult
to navigate for marketers who weren't yet trained on the CMS
application.  By using Jive as a social layer above the CMS, NIKE
marketers around the world can quickly access and share approved media
assets in a single location.
--  Community Innovation - National Journal Group, the leading source of
nonpartisan reporting on the current political environment and emerging
policy trends, was selected for its ground breaking "3121" platform,
powered by Jive.  3121 - which combines a dynamic directory,
collaboration tools and customizable news feeds - is the first
professional networking tool designed exclusively for members of
Congress and their staff.
--  Community Adoption - CSC, a global leader in providing
technology-enabled solutions and services, was selected for the launch
of its internal community "C3: Connect. Communicate. Collaborate."
Through the  tenacity, credibility and trustworthiness of those
involved, the CSC team  secured a phenomenal level of executive
endorsement from the onset and  established a clear linkage between its
"enterprise 2.0" initiatives to the company's core business strategic
objectives.
