Veodia Partners With Jive Software and Announces Plug-In
New Plug-In Enables Jive's Product Line With High-Quality Video; Integration to Be Showcased at 2008 Enterprise 2.0 Conference and Launch Pad Session
SAN MATEO, CA and PORTLAND, OR--(Marketwire - June 10, 2008) - Veodia, an agile video
service that enhances daily work communications, today announced a
partnership with Jive Software, an enterprise collaboration software
provider. Veodia will bring its high-quality streaming video capabilities
to the company's flagship product, Clearspace, allowing its users to
interact more effectively with video-enriched collaboration. The
integration will be unveiled on the show floor and at the Launch Pad
session during the 2008 Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston, June 9 - 12,
2008.
With this partnership, Jive's Clearspace users can collaborate and
communicate using high-quality video. Veodia's plug-in will seamlessly
integrate into existing workflows, allowing users to create and consume
video within Jive's Clearspace product line and enhance postings with video
in a matter of moments. The Veodia platform is designed with the
enterprise requirements in mind, providing a reliable, secure and scalable
service that can be integrated into a variety of business processes.
"Online video is set to revitalize the business environment by bringing
people from various groups together and by facilitating true human
interactions that have been lost with conventional business practices,"
said Guillaume Cohen, CEO, Veodia. "By incorporating high quality video
into the Clearspace collaboration software, people are freed from their
walled gardens. They gain the opportunity to truly engage."
Forrester Research reports that the future office is the "information
workplace," a 21st century platform that manages content, messaging, team
collaboration, real-time collaboration, and communication among employees
using a common platform. Veodia's video capabilities help Jive's user base
come closer to achieving this for the workplace.
"Collaboration is personal, and Jive's customers see video as an important
part of enriching the conversations they're having with employees, partners
and customers," said Matt Tucker, CTO, Jive Software.
Jive's Clearspace customers can start using Veodia's video service in Q3
2008.
