Jive SBS #ESN #CoP
Gian Jagai
Hi SIKMers,
I was curious if anyone has implemented (or planning to implement) Jive SBS. What were your impressions? And what communities did you select to launch within your company and why? I'm currently in the beginning of a Jive proof of concept and we are try to determine how to select an initial community and determine metrics for success. If you moved away or augmented SharePoint 2007 when you installed Jive, I'd also be interested in your experiences there too. Thanks Gian... Blog: http://kmapprentice.wordpress.com/ |

I was kicking around the SBS beta in my PC for a long while. Impressions:
- management could be clearer. Less drag-and-drop and more intuituveness would help. - very powerful features for groups. - nice module management and probably expansion. Almost overflexible. - very able Sharepoint upgrade. Re the metrics. I didn't have their metrics module, and after talking to them we decided to wait awhile, so I can't tell how good it is. Evidently the metrics selected would depend on the community targets :-). Re selecting a community. Can't help there, besides generalities like "pick the livelier ones with a clear link to business, ask them if they want to spearhead something, let them help in the design". We won't be buying it because of price, but I still think we'll be proposing it to a less price-sensitive customer in the short term. Don't know if that helps. Best regards, Miguel ________________________________________ De: sikmleaders@...

We are using Jive Clearspace for threaded discussions for some of our
communities. Feel free to contact me for more information. Regards, Stan |

We are just now completing an evaluation of Jive and other community platforms. We currently use SharePoint and it mostly serves as a repository of completed documents versus a vehicle for collaboration or knowledge exchange. I like the personal user dashboard in Jive. It makes for an engaging user experience. Users can easily publish information, keep track of colleagues' activities and keep tabs on groups to which they belong from the dashboard. We are considering kicking off several pilot communities using Jive. A likely pilot community would be corporate social responsibility (CSR), which requires coordination among individuals spread across our hundreds of offices worldwide to tackle issues such as sustainability and humanitarian relief. Our CSR program has specific targets such as number of projects initiatiated, number of people served, and so on. We will try and assess the impact of improved collaboration on the program. We will also look for success stories that convey the benefits in a more meaningful way than raw numbers do. I'd be happy to share my experiences down the road and I would like to hear how your pilot turns out.

We use both MOSS and SPS03. MOSS has pretty good content and document management features making it well suited for intranets, web sites, and team document sharing. In my opinion it is not as strong at connecting people with people which is a critical element of a KM solution. Some of the things I would want to see in the next version of SharePoint are (1) users' encouraged to fill out their profile (like in Linked In), (2) improvement of the colleague concept to be more like friends in Facebook, (3) user status (like Twitter), (4) team site templates that are oriented toward communities, e.g. containing a members face wall, group blog, discussion boards, news reader, etc. (5) user dashboard (like private mysite) which automatically shows recent activity of colleagues and groups, (6) simplified UI with less features and fewer popup menus, (7) tagging and tag clouds. MOSS certainly has some capability in these areas but not strong enough to make it easy for people to engage other people. I would love to hear others' views and experiences in this area.
