Six customers: <a href="http://www.unitedbusinessmedia.com/">United Business Media (UBM)</a>, <a href="http://www.nike.com/nikeos/p/nike/en_US/?">NIKE Inc.</a>, <a href="http://www.nationaljournal.com/njonline/">National Journal Group</a>, <a href="http://www.csc.com/">CSC</a>, <a href="https://www.kaiserpermanente.org/">Kaiser Permanente</a>, and <a href="http://www.swissre.com/">Swiss Re</a> were awarded for their outstanding achievements exemplifying the business outcomes that Social Business Software can generate.&nbsp; The award categories included Business Impact, Community Innovation, Community Adoption, User Experience and the Social Business Software Champion Award. </li> <li><strong>Business Impact</strong> - UBM was selected for its community deployment of Jive SBS, and its role in the strategic vision of the company.&nbsp; UBM's wiki platform has the support and attention of the company's senior leadership.&nbsp; Within the first year of deploying the UBM wiki, its community has grown to over 5,000 users, working in 35 countries.&nbsp; 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.</li> <li><strong>User Experience - </strong>NIKE Inc<strong>. </strong>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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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. </li> <li><strong>Community Innovation -</strong> 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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; </li> <li><strong>Community Adoption</strong> - CSC, a global leader in&nbsp; providing technology-enabled solutions and services, was selected for the launch&nbsp; of its internal community "C3: Connect. Communicate. Collaborate."&nbsp; Through the&nbsp; tenacity, credibility and trustworthiness of those involved, the CSC team&nbsp; secured a phenomenal level of executive endorsement from the onset and&nbsp; established a clear linkage between its "enterprise 2.0" initiatives to the&nbsp; company's core business strategic objectives. Through enabling a strong global&nbsp; advocate network and allowing collaboration patterns to emerge, C3 enjoyed viral&nbsp; success in only 20 weeks, achieving 25,000 registered users, over 2000 new&nbsp; groups and generating over 1 million page views a month. </li> <li><strong>Social Business Software Champion</strong>(s) - Two winners were selected in this category: Kaiser Permanente and Swiss Re.&nbsp;&nbsp; <ul> <li>Kaiser Permanente's IdeaBook, powered by Jive, is an internal online community aimed at capitalizing on the strength of its 165,000 employees and 14,000 physicians by facilitating knowledge sharing and increasing collaboration and productivity. IdeaBook's rising adoption among employees -- it's adding more than 2,000 users per month -- has been made possible by the efforts of a dedicated and thoughtful communication and technology planning team, key leader participation and advocacy efforts such as real life case studies and user anecdotes.</li> <li>Swiss Re operates in more than 20 countries and provides its expertise and services as an reinsurer for property and casualty as well as life and health business. Traditional reinsurance products are complemented by insurance-based corporate finance solutions.&nbsp; Swiss Re took a community centric approach to collaboration and provided a business platform for virtual teams, expert networks, projects, learning groups and other communities. More than 10,000 employees got access to the tool and within two weeks after the launch, more than 130 new groups were created.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Commentary</strong></p> <ul> <li>David Levin, United Business Media Limited, Chief Executive Officer said, "The social media movement is important to UBM and to many of our customers. UBM runs the Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 events that showcase the transformative power of social media. Social media technology is also at the heart of how UBM's business operates. We are fusing social media with most of our live events as well as building virtual environments and communities on social media platforms. Internally the UBM wiki is now a key resource that helps more than 5,000 of our people, working in our 15 businesses in more than 30 countries: 'Connect, Communicate and Collaborate' is the tagline we have adopted for the UBM wiki."</li> <li>"We continue to be inspired by the work our customers are doing," said Dave Hersh, CEO of Jive Software.&nbsp; "Their creativity, enthusiasm and partnership is the cornerstone of our success as a company."</li> </ul> <p><strong>Additional Resources</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.jivesoftware.com/jiveworld/awards">JiveWorld09 Awards</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.jivesoftware.com">Jive Software Website</a> <br /></li> </ul> <p><strong>About Jive Software<br /> </strong>Jive frees people to engage in open, natural business conversations and workflows that typically are trapped inside of emails, phone calls or meetings.
