One-Click Access to Try Jive Makes It Simple for Millions of Users to Adopt
Jive's Next-Generation Platform
Jive Software, Inc. (Nasdaq:JIVE), the industry's largest pure-play social
business provider, today launched an innovative 30-day trial that gives
millions of users immediate access to Jive's next-generation social business
platform, which Jive also introduced today. Try Jive enables teams of any size
to work together using Jive for Teams, a new easy-to-use group collaboration
solution built on the feature-packed platform. The trial provides a rapid, easy
on-ramp to social business and is available now via Jive Cloud, Jive's public
cloud service.

'This is an answer to the thousands of Global 10,000 business teams who've
requested access to the same high-productivity collaborative tools used by the
world's largest and most successful companies,' said Tony Zingale, Jive CEO.
'With Try Jive and easy deployment, now teams from 25 to 250,000 can instantly
take advantage of the industry's most advanced social business platform. We've
made it incredibly easy for team leaders to launch their own Jive-powered
network, empower stellar teamwork, and achieve breakthrough business results.'

Try Jive, a free trial of Jive for Teams, provides a comprehensive set of
collaboration tools and capabilities that have made Jive's platform the most
widely used social business system in the world. These include tools for
communication and sharing, document collaboration, activity streams, mobile
device support, and integration with Microsoft Outlook and Office. Jive for
Teams also includes the industry-first next-generation features introduced on
Jive's new platform, such as Jive Anywhere, Jive !App Experiences, Jive Edge
social intelligence and Jive Attention Streams.

Free Try Jive: Immediate Access with Option to Purchase

The free trial is designed so that users can quickly familiarize themselves
with Jive's capabilities and get to work immediately solving real business
challenges. Elements include:

-- Rapid sign-up. Any team member can start a trial by visiting jiveon.com and
entering a valid company email address. They can then invite other team
members and begin collaborating in their own private, secure Jive-powered
network.
-- During the 30-day trial, users have full access to all Jive for Teams
features such as those described above, without limitations. When the
30-day period ends, companies can purchase Jive for Teams for as little as
$12 per user per month and continue using their Jive team network without
interruption.
-- Throughout the trial, team leaders have complete administrative control.
They can also customize the look and feel of their Jive network with Jive's
easy-to-use theme builder.
-- Any data created during the free trial is safe and secure, regardless of
whether they buy Jive or end the trial without purchase. If they choose to
end the trial, they can take their data, free of charge.
-- There is no limit to the number of users or amount of storage consumed
during the trial.
-- Jive provides hands-on support throughout the trial, with Jive Success
Coaches assisting users for free via live chat, the JiveCommunity, email,
and phone.
-- The trial includes integrated tutorials that introduce users to key
features and capabilities. The tutorials include instructional videos in
which Jive customers from leading companies describe how they use Jive to
achieve key business objectives.

'Groupon is one of the fastest growing businesses of all time, which means we
have to move and make decisions in realtime,' said rock star Andrew Mishalove,
Jive community manager at Groupon. 'Email just cannot handle our level of
virtual teamwork. We tried freemium alternatives and found they were unable to
scale and meet the needs of our people. We chose Jive because the platform was
powerful, easy to use and gave us quick upgrade cycles, all in the cloud.'

'Blue Shield's mission is to ensure that all Californians have access to
high-quality health care at an affordable price,' said Mark Heller, Director of
Internal Communications and Employer Reputation at Blue Shield of California.
'Jive is helping Blue Shield to change the way we work and drive a significant
culture shift in support of our mission. Jive gives us an inside look at all
the work going on around the organization, helping us to identify opportunities
to deliver on our strategy, improve employee engagement, and increase
collaboration across the company.'

To showcase the latest trends and best practices in social business, Jive
presents the JiveLive Tour, an eight-city seminar series in May and early June,
2012. To learn more, visit the JiveLive Tour site.
