Jive

Jive (marketed today as "Jive AI" and owned by IgniteTech, an ESW Capital company based in Austin, Texas) is an enterprise collaboration and communication platform — a digital workplace that unifies people, knowledge, and content across departments and locations for large, often regulated organizations. Capabilities include collaboration spaces and group discussions, knowledge management with search and co-editing, personalized role-based news feeds, mobile and desktop apps, and engagement analytics. Jive originated as a venture-backed (Kleiner Perkins) enterprise-social vendor that IPO'd in 2011 and shipped a REST API plus an official Node.js add-on SDK. It was later acquired into the Aurea / ESW Capital / IgniteTech family.
