Business Gets Social
In a world of tired enterprise software, finally there's something new. Jive revolutionizes how work gets done in global businesses by integrating the most powerful enterprise 2.0 capabilities of collaboration software, community software, and social networking software -- enabling businesses to connect to and capitalize on the intellectual and creative content of employee and customer conversations. Jive Social Business Software (SBS) delivers the leading features of popular collaboration, community, and social network software in a highly secure enterprise platform. In the 3.0 release of the Jive SBS product, Jive added a video module that enables enterprise organizations to enrich corporate communications, and enhance education and training programs.
The video module is built on the Twistage API and brings point-and-click simplicity to video publishing. The module is seamlessly integrated into Jive SBS, using consistent UI elements, social capabilities, branding, and workflow. Through this integration, Jive delivers rich and engaging video capabilities to its customers while insulating them from the technical underpinnings of the video infrastructure.
Simplicity and Security
When building a product for the enterprise, vendors must strongly consider both the application's ease-of-use as well as the security implications in deploying it. In a large organization, users run the gamut from the uber-technical to the not-so-technical, making usability a critical factor for enterprises in their evaluation process. Once consensus is reached that the application is a theoretical fit, security considerations must be addressed. When evaluating its online video options for its many enterprise customers, the Jive team needed to find a solution partner that could allow complete control of the user experience while delivering enterprise-grade security.
Secure Streaming
Using Twistage's "stream authentication" feature, Jive was able to continue using its existing access control and security model. Twistage was designed in such a way that it can simply piggyback on top of the business rules that Jive and Jive's customers put in place.
User Experience
Jive SBS is known for bringing unmatched ease-of-use to enterprise software. By using the Twistage API in conjunction with skinning and customization features, Jive's video module provides a completely consistent and familiar user experience.
Reliability
Enterprise organizations demand a scalable and reliable platform and Jive Social Business Software delivers. Battle tested in some of the biggest communities and deployments in the industry, Jive SBS has a proven track record of success. Jive devotes significant resources to ensuring that reliability. Twistage similarly invests time and money in redundancy and failover to make sure that clients have reliable access to their video content.
"Video has become a mission critical way that companies communicate across time zones and geographies to achieve competitive advantage using Social Business Software. We selected Twistage for as the best solution for our enterprise customers because of its quality, global CDN support, security, and ease of use."
