Exhibit 99.2
Dear Jive Customer,
Jive has been pushing the boundaries to help people work better together for the past 16 years. It’s this dedicated focus that has enabled us to deliver the enterprise collaboration products and solutions you’ve come to know and love. We created this market to help people effectively connect, communicate and collaborate within their own organizations and with the customers and partners that matter most. Customers like you have been our guiding light, and along the way we have grown the Jive family to more than 30 million people around the world and nearly 1,000 companies. Your passion and support of Jive have helped to make our vision possible.
Today, we’ve come to an important milestone on the next leg of our journey. This morning we announced that ESW, through its affiliate, Wave, is acquiring Jive and that Jive will become a part of the Aurea family of companies. Aurea is a technology solutions provider that delivers transformative customer experiences. With over 1,500 customers worldwide including British Airways, Bank of America, United Healthcare and MetLife, Aurea combines a commitment to customer success with innovative technology and world-class delivery.
So what does this mean for you and for Jive?
Aurea and Jive will unite to bring the power of our respective platforms to the task of optimizing employee and customer experiences for companies around the world. This includes powering engaging and intelligent collaborative experiences throughout the global business eco-system. Together, Aurea and Jive will provide differentiated employee, partner and customer experiences that improve business outcomes by connecting people and content, enabling them to collaborate securely and effectively across applications and organizations, and allowing businesses to leverage this collaborative intelligence.
There will be more steps in the process of completing the acquisition. The exact timing and details of closing are not yet known, but we expect the transaction to be completed sometime in June 2017. We will continue to share information as it becomes available.
Thanks for your passion and support.
