Jive’s SBS platform is the proven market leader. 7Summits has focused on building solutions with the platform that should garner interest across industries.
“7Summits is all about Applied Social Media for Business and Jive’s Social Business Software has everything that is needed to deliver on your Social Business Strategy. With Jive’s SBS, we can easily and efficiently execute a strategy that has a direct and measurable impact on improved revenue, reduced cost or both” said Paul Stillmank, President and CEO of 7Summits. “We believe in Jive so much that 7Summits’ web experience is powered completely by Jive. But don’t just listen to us; Gartner and Forrester have ranked Jive at the top of the pile in recently published analyst reports.” Stillmank served as part of Jive’s Expert Panel discussion at JiveWorld09.

Customers need strategy, measurement, and levers to know when refinement and action is needed. We are pleased to have an industry visionary in 7Summits to help us provide a complete solution for our customers”, said Robert Brown, Senior Vice President of Client Services, Jive Software.
