We’re hosting the industry’s first and largest Social Business event for those just mapping their Social Business strategies as well as the seasoned individuals who have been leading the new way.”
Social Email with Jive for Outlook®
JiveWorld11 will showcase innovative technology for bringing social interactions to common applications, including Microsoft Outlook, using the newly released Jive for Outlook®, which transforms the way information workers use email and engage with one another. With Jive for Outlook®, users can:
- Boost productivity. Email remains the most common collaboration solution in the enterprise, but hinders productivity. Employees waste too much time sifting through old and new threads for information, while attempting to manage the email overload. While email is a communication tool between people, it’s ultimately not about the people. Jive for Outlook® changes that by putting people at the center of every communication, adding context and social profiles that enhance productivity. What was once trapped in the inbox is now social and easier to find.
- Collaborate better, faster. With Jive for Outlook®, customers can replace “reply all” and “group emails” through real-time discussions. Users can easily create Jive discussions from Outlook directly, post status updates, send direct messages and consume all content on the Jive platform in an innovative, threaded display without leaving the comfort of Outlook. Finally, valuable information and knowledge living in Outlook can now be brought to the right people, at the right time.
