Rypple Featured Launch Partner in Jive’s Social Apps Marketplace

San Francisco (I-Newswire) July 26, 2011 - Rypple's social performance platform has been selected as a launch partner for Jive Apps Market, the first social enterprise apps market. Other Jive Apps Market partners include social SaaS offerings such as Box.net, SalesCrunch and Tungle.

Rypple is a social performance platform that helps workplace teams share goals, recognize great work, and get better, faster. As one of the featured launch partners in the Jive Apps Market, Rypple’s apps will be fully integrated into Jive 5, Jive’s industry-leading Social Business platform.

"We’ve built social performance software for the way we all work today—in real time," said Steve DeBacco, head of strategic partnerships at Rypple. “Rypple empowers managers to provide their teams with the continuous feedback, coaching, and recognition they need to accelerate performance. As an integral part of Jive 5, we will be able to help enterprises build great workplace cultures.”

“For the launch of the Jive Apps Market, we looked for companies that exhibit a spirit of innovation and have demonstrated product leadership,” said Robin Bordoli, Vice President Jive Apps Market. “The Rypple approach to employee performance is a clear example of forward thinking in action.”

Rypple’s web based social performance platform liberates performance management from a once-a-year top-down process and integrates it into daily work, where it can make a meaningful impact on team performance. Managers and their teams can share key priorities, continuously update the status of key goals, and recognize one another for great work.

Managers who adopt Rypple ensure their teams get the continuous feedback and one-on-one coaching they need to learn faster, stay on track, and achieve their goals more consistently. Employees build their reputations at work by amassing a real-time portfolio of accomplishments and skills so they no longer have to rely solely on painful performance reviews for feedback and recognition.

Jive 5 helps organizations harness the power of their most powerful asset, the social network. Businesses are driven by ideas, conversations, expertise, knowledge and connections created in the networks of their employees, customers, and partners. Jive 5 captures this knowledge into a collaborative, social platform that transforms the way people work.

The Jive Apps Market, which can be accessed directly from the Jive 5 platform, allows businesses to deploy these innovative apps with one click, in a way that provides scalability, security, and ease of use that is IT-approved.
