PORTLAND, OR, JULY 30, 2008 - Jive Software (www.jivesoftware.com), the pure-play collaboration software leader, today announced record customer growth, with major customer wins including Cisco, SAP, VMware, and NetApp.  Jive increased its customer base by 25%, bringing the number of total customers to 2,500, including over 15% of the Fortune 500.  In addition, the company unveils Clearstep, an online community for social and enterprise 2.0 professionals. Finally, Jive named Bryan LeBlanc as Chief Financial Officer.  Mr. LeBlanc brings nearly 20 years of finance experience at public high-tech and software companies to Jive, and will be responsible for all finance and administrative functions of the business.

Clearstep is the first of its kind online community, powered by Jive's own Clearspace product, for social and enterprise 2.0 practitioners. Now these professionals have a place to interact, share best practices, and gain access to a much wider range of perspectives on common community and collaboration issues. Clearstep is intended for all social and enterprise 2.0-focused professionals, including Jive customers.

Clearstep is the first time the real drivers and practitioners behind this movement have a place to share ideas" said Dave Hersh, CEO, Jive Software. "Signing on 500 new customers is a testament to the fact that Jive is leading this charge and our people-centric approach is what today's enterprise needs."
