They say that Jive is looking for a fight, but they do not appear to be too timid in going Jive. Helpstream is definitely calling Jive out.

Love to see you respond. If anyone can find a breakdown of all the ROI HelpStream is claiming, please call it out. Their CEO's blog posts and PR stuff put out all appear to be general marketing "believe me" fluff and I am having a hard time finding the beef. It might be there, but they are far from being transparent. Are you aware that helpstream is busting your chops on their blog for Jive and your CMO not playing nice and being downright unsocial?

That new Jive Video is the most uplifting and awesome piece of awesome that I have ever seen, (and I like to think I'm immune to such things.) Best of luck with the new release! Gord :) Bwah!

Clearspace has changed the way we work and interact as a business. The social aspect of our employees is key to our success as a business. That said, one area that concerns me is what seems like the laser focus on “enterprise” as the target for SBS. Being a smaller company, but with big clients, I’d have to say that the small business community has just as much at stake in the need to keep their business social, internally and externally. It’s statements such as this on the How to Buy page that concern me most: Jive SBS is tailor-made for large enterprises with at least 1,000 employees. Pricing varies widely because no two companies are alike. Words like ‘…tailor-made…’ and ‘…at least…’ in my opinion drive the perception that smaller business need not apply. Is that the case with Jive SBS? I hope not because we believe Jive can serve both these markets and serve them well, as we have seen the success first-hand. You do strike it right that no two companies are alike and that’s no more evident than between the constant need to be enterprise but at the same time realize the large market that is small business. The statement on the How to Buy page makes me even wonder where the smaller license will fit in the new Jive SBS structure. Small business is a huge driver of this nation’s economy and seeing copy like that on the website makes me feel that Jive is either directly or indirectly excluding a huge chunk of business in the effort to emphasize the enterprise qualities. Where will we fall out in the mix? Regards, RH Hi Sam,
