Box provides a great way to share all kinds
of content and collaborate around it. But did
you know that Box’s recent partnership with
social business leader Jive Software extends
these capabilities further? The new Box for Jive
offering provides even richer collaboration and
communication, seamlessly integrating your Box
content into the Jive social collaboration platform
and connecting you to all the people, information
and tools you need to do your work.
You can work in Jive, sharing and collaborating
on files stored in Box. Or you can work directly
in Box. Either way, all content and comments are
synchronized across the two platforms. It really is
a best-of-both worlds solution: secure, enterprise-
class content sharing and comprehensive, anytime/
anywhere collaboration for you and your team.
Here are three key reasons you should consider
taking the next step, empowering pervasive
productivity with Box for Jive.
1. Collaboration in context Documents and other content don’t exist in isolation.
They’re usually part of a larger process or project,
like planning a new website, launching a product or
closing a sale. Jive provides the context, bringing
content into collaborative team spaces where all
stakeholders—inside or outside your organization—can
share, comment and work together. People can meet
up, connect, follow each other and stay in sync at all
times, all while sharing content in Box. Jive extends
this social collaboration to a wide range of tools and
environments, including Microsoft Office, Outlook
and SharePoint; smartphones and tablets; and any
website or web-based app. Wherever and however
you prefer to work, you have continuous access to all
your colleagues, conversations and content.
2. All your resources in one spot Jive groups not only unite all team members, they also
bring together all the tools and resources you need.
You can continue sharing and working in Box, but
now you can see related content, calendars, activity
feeds, discussions and essential information from other
enterprise systems in one place, at a glance. Jive even
recommends related content proactively.
3. Seamless integration Nothing falls through the cracks, since there are no
cracks to fall through. Add or change a document in a
Box folder, and see the changes reflected instantly in
Jive. Add or change a doc in Jive, and the same thing
happens in Box. Whether you’re working in your
browser, Jive for Office, your Jive mobile app or Box
mobile app, all files and comments are sync’ed across
all systems. Searching is integrated too, so you can
easily find content whether it’s in Jive or Box.
It’s hard to overstate the impact when all these
capabilities are combined in one solution that
can be used by an entire team or company. In
a recent study of hundreds of Jive customers, a
top-three global business consultancy found that
Jive improved workforce productivity by a jaw-
dropping 15% and increased revenues by 2-4%.
