Dachis Group and Jive Join Forces to Advance Social Business Adoption
AUSTIN, Texas, June 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Dachis Group announced a partnership with Jive Software to more effectively develop and implement social business initiatives. For the first time, a social business strategy leader and a social business technology leader have joined forces to advance the social business industry. The companies will collaborate on product development and vertical industry best practices.
Together, the companies will create and deploy solutions that align directly with common challenges in the social space such as noise filtering, information architecture and policy enforcement.
"Both Jive and Dachis have a tremendous amount of institutional knowledge around social business technology and strategy," said Jeffrey Dachis, CEO and Founder of Dachis Group. "Working together, we can build on Jive's technology expertise to shape products that directly address the biggest problem faced by business today, cutting through the noise."
The partnership consists of two major components:
|
||
Jive will work with Dachis to guide Jive's product development process, driving greater value for customers of both companies. |
||
|
||
Jive and Dachis will collaborate on a series of best practices research that both companies can use to drive competitive differentiation for customers. |
||
Through the partnership, Dachis and Jive will gain access to a much broader set of client feedback. This will lead to more ideas, new product directions, and a comprehensive vetting of product developments prior to going to market. The Jive/Dachis partnership will result in a robust set of customer resources, including case studies, best practices and guidelines for implementing and managing social business in the financial services and retail industries.
"As the social business software market matures, the need for vertical specialization in key industries becomes greater," said Matt Tucker, Co-Founder and CTO of Jive Software. "Dachis Group's wealth of knowledge on the implementation, challenges and market needs for social technologies is a strong complement to Jive's leading social business software."
