PORTLAND, Ore. and SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Company News
-- Jive, the Social Business Software (SBS) leader, and DocVerse today
announced an OEM relationship in which Jive will distribute DocVerse
Enterprise. The partnership enables Jive SBS users to leverage the full
functionality of DocVerse Enterprise to seamlessly work on any Microsoft
Office document, spreadsheet or presentation in Jive or on their desktop
for real-time, transparent collaboration.
-- DocVerse Enterprise for Jive users will be offered as the Jive Connects
for Microsoft Office module that is now generally available with Jive
SBS 4.0. For more information on Jive SBS 4.0, see today's press
release.
-- The DocVerse Enterprise product allows users to continue using Microsoft
Word, PowerPoint, and Excel exactly the same way they currently do
today. Via a plug-in that integrates seamlessly into Microsoft Office,
multiple authors and contributors can make comments and changes on
documents simultaneously with automatic synchronization of each other's
changes in their Jive community. Now when users create and save
Microsoft Office content, it is published in their Jive activity stream,
which invites comments, discussions, and constructive feedback.
-- The alliance brings DocVerse's state-of-the-art document collaboration
capabilities to Jive SBS 4.0, and is designed to end the reliance on the
typical back-and-forth email attachments required to share and edit
Microsoft Office documents, spreadsheets and presentations. Even Jive
users who do not use Microsoft Office can preview and provide inline
comments to any Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint document.
Commentary
-- "Jive wants to extend Social Business Software across enterprise users'
highest frequency applications, and nowhere is that more important than
for the 600 million Microsoft Office users," said Chris Morace, SVP
Products of Jive Software. "Our alliance with DocVerse is a key part of
how Jive is changing the way people can socialize critical documents,
content and conversations no matter where they are working."
-- "DocVerse is pleased to help Jive push the envelope for how
collaboration software should work," said Shan Sinha, CEO of DocVerse.
"Together we're providing Jive customers a simple way to bring true
collaboration to Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel."
