Finally, a solution for the hybrid technology landscape that brings the full context to every decision, while delivering unparalleled security to any device, in any location
PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Jive Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: JIVE) and Egnyte, a market leader in adaptive enterprise file services, today announced a new partnership that enables companies of all sizes to collaborate in Jive around any content stored in Egnyte -- from any device or location. With the secure integration between the two companies, joint customers also have the flexibility to edit and publish content in the platform of their choice while keeping the entire organization in the loop with content that is continuously synced between Egnyte and Jive.
The reality of today's business environment is that companies around the world have different standards, requirements or operational philosophies for how and where information is shared and accessed. The partnership offers the freedom to choose from three deployment models: Hosted in the cloud for easy accessibility, stored locally to meet security and regulatory requirements, or synced in a hybrid environment. Jive's interactive intranet hub model and Egnyte's flexible file services bring out the best from such a hybrid environment by allowing employees to choose how they collaborate, while protecting their organization's data.
"Today, employees expect the same kind of choices at work as they have in their personal lives, from the devices and apps they use to the location and setting where they get work done," said Elisa Steele, chief executive officer at Jive Software. "At the same time, IT departments are looking to maximize productivity by providing easy-to-use platforms while also monitoring and managing the flow of company data in a secure and scalable environment. Our partnership with Egnyte solves a magnitude of common business problems by directly addressing how companies get work done today."
"This partnership introduces a new element to Jive's leading collaboration platform and highlights our combined focus on ease of use, which ultimately encourages rapid adoption and usage," said Vineet Jain, chief executive officer at Egnyte. "Egnyte's flexible, open platform makes it easy to adapt to existing workflows and allows business users anywhere to access, edit and share files as if they're all working from one central location. It's also a win for IT teams, as they gain the highest level of security, visibility and control over the flow of content both inside and outside the organization – effectively protecting our joint customers' investments."
The integration is available as part of Jive's newly introduced QuickStart promotional package that runs through the end of 2015. The package provides a complete, out-of-the-box, turnkey interactive intranet for companies with 2,000 or fewer employees. It also includes Jive's full suite of mobile apps and market-leading integrations with Google, Microsoft, other essential productivity and email systems. With the inclusion of Egnyte in Jive's integrated hub offering, Jive provides customers more choice than ever as to where customers may store their data.
The Jive and Egnyte experience boosts productivity and enables customers to:
