Connector for Jive SBS
Welcome to an integrated platform for social product development.
Jama Contour and Jive SBS are complimentary solutions used together to
manage the innovation process more effectively, creating a powerful,
integrated platform for social product development.
With this unique integration, organizations using Jive SBS for their
public and employee communities can now seamlessly push ideas discussed
in their communities directly into Jama Contour. Then,
they can use Contour to execute on the ideas and manage them through the
full product planning and development lifecycle.
"This integration with Jama provides Jive SBS customers more options to
capitalize on the ideas being discussed within their Jive communities,"
said Ben Kiker, CMO of Jive Software, "By bringing ideation and
execution together, companies can ensure the end products they build
satisfy the needs of their customers."
Automate the process. Never lose a great idea again.
Product teams can waste hundreds of hours trying to gather ideas and
communicate product plans manually using static documents and email.
It's a nightmare. As more organizations implement social strategies
that encourage their customers, partners and employees to participate in
the product development process, this "death by documents" problem only
magnifies. With the integration of Jive and Jama, organizations can
now automate the innovation process and ensure they never lose great
ideas. In addition, using Contour, they can capitalize immediately on
the specific product features and enhancements their customers want
most, ensuring the end products they build deliver real value to their
customers. An idea is worth $0 until you take action. This integrated
solution provides a better way to convert great ideas into great
products.
Taking open innovation from concept to reality.
"The concept of giving customers a greater voice in the innovation
process has been a desirable strategy for years," said Eric Winquist,
co-founder and CEO of Jama Software, "However, historically it was a
very manual and document-centric process to implement successfully. The
joint solution of Jive + Jama makes the concept of open innovation a
reality and automates the data flow within the process, providing
greater visibility, control and collaboration for global organizations."
Key benefits of the integrated solution of Jama Contour and Jive SBS:
- Capture the voice of customers
- Never lose a great idea again
- Automate the innovation process
- Turn ideas into action
- Deliver the right products faster
- Build customer loyalty
