INTELLIGENCE SOLUTIONS FOR GOVERNMENT FROM CARAHSOFT ^TM

Jive Social Business Software

Connecting the dots between agencies, people, content, and systems with Jive SBS, the de facto standard for the intelligence community.

The larger your agency or department, the less likely it is that your employees will be aware of the people, activities, and work products that impact their responsibilities. It's hard to be efficient when data is trapped in siloed systems, people's minds-or languishing in archives. It's difficult to be effective if you can't quickly find the expertise you need.

1. Can your employees securely harness the collective intelligence and work products of their peers in real time?
2. Are time and distance barriers affecting your agency's ability to getting work done effectively and efficiently?

Jive Social Business Software will solve both those problems-and more. Led by Jive, Social Business Software is quickly becoming the imperative we saw email and websites become in '80s and '90s. By breaking through long-standing barriers to communication and information sharing, Jive's highly secure online communities fundamentally change the way people interact and work: fluid collaboration, consolidated information, and access to diverse expertise improve both the quality and the timeliness of agency work. This transformation will bring profound changes to the government sector just as they have in the private sector.

Put social media to work with secure online communities

Take a fundamentally new approach to getting work done. Use Jive Social Business Software to establish a trusted online environment with appropriate controls that leverages social media and community software for connecting people and knowledge.

Eliminate data silos and improve productivity

When agency employees work inside a Jive community, they see what their peers are working on and often uncover important information languishing in data silos. Better visibility of expert contributions, discussions, and work products across agency projects and departments results in improved productivity across the board as well as more intelligent decision making. The ability to seamlessly ask questions and seek multiple perspectives produces rapid results.

Minimize time and distance barriers

Online communities operate around the clock. Time and distance barriers are minimized, which promotes better communication across offices and personnel and raises the quality of agency work. Now telecommuters, contractors, and personnel in agencies across the street and across the globe communicate, interact, and share information almost like they were sharing the same office.

Enhance situational awareness

Situational awareness-including events of major and minor import-is heightened because Jive SBS helps you keep tabs on what's going on in your agency and other agencies. This ability of Jive to broaden everyone's purview promotes strategic communication-and helps connect people and knowledge at critical times to achieve specific objectives.

"A-Space is significantly improving the quality and timeliness of analysis through access to relevant data and collaboration across the IC and DoD. The ability to quickly identify experts across various disciplines and collaborate on topics of national interest is enabling Decision Superiority unlike ever before."
Larry Prior, President and Chief Operating Officer, ManTech International Corporation
