Description: About Jive Software
Why is it that it’s much easier to find people, keep in touch, and get your questions answered on the Internet than inside of a company? Every day companies lose critical knowledge, ideas, and connections because it’s too hard to get work done.
At Jive, we believe it doesn’t have to be that way. Jive’s Social Business Software (SBS) connects employees, customers, and partners to revolutionize how work gets done in the global enterprise. Thousands of companies, including some of the largest members of the Fortune 500, rely on Jive to solve the pressing business challenges of today’s economy. Our record growth, top-industry rankings – we’re a Gartner Magic Quadrant Visionary and Forrester Wave Leader – and strong financial backing set us apart in the fast growing SBS market. Our award-winning solutions set the standard by which the rest of the industry is measured: we have been rated number one for both our current offering and our long-range strategy.
As the SBS thought leader, we’re looking for passionate, driven people who want to join with us in defining the next generation of how people work. Successful Jivers think big, are ambitious, and have a true passion for the opportunities of social software in the enterprise.
