Case Study: Hitachi Data Systems achieves effortless, voluntary user adoption with Jive Software

Jive-n Provides a Global Competitive Advantage

Hitachi Data Systems, led by Senior VP of IT John Abel, faced a common enterprise challenge: getting employees to actually use collaboration tools. Over two decades of experience had shown that many systems required management to push adoption, leaving IT frustrated and users disengaged.

The company deployed Jive as its collaboration platform and saw immediate, organic adoption—users came to the system on their own and told IT, "This is what we've been looking for." According to Abel, it was the first system in his 20+ years he never had to force users to adopt, delivering strong user engagement and satisfaction.
