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%.
