    --  Jive, the Social Business Software leader, today congratulated Jive
        customer Claire Flanagan, Senior Manager, Knowledge Program and
        Enterprise Social Collaboration, at Computer Sciences Corporation for

    --  The 2.0 Adoption Council awarded its inaugural, prestigious "Internal
        Evangelist of the Year" award on November 3 at the Enterprise 2.0
        Conference in San Francisco.  According to the 2.0 Adoption Council,
the
        award winner exemplifies, "the tenacity, courage, and sheer energy it
        takes to inspire a large enterprise to embrace the principles and
        practices of Enterprise 2.0."  The award was presented to Flanagan by
        Andrew McAfee, widely regarded as the "father" of the enterprise 2.0
        movement.

    --  Last week at the JiveWorld Conference in San Francisco, Flanagan
        accepted a Jive Social Business Software (SBS) Award on behalf of CSC,
a
        global leader in providing technology-enabled solutions and services.
        CSC received the Community Adoption Award for the launch of its
internal
        community "C3: Connect. Communicate. Collaborate."  Under Flanagan's
        leadership, C3 enjoyed viral success in only 20 weeks, achieving
25,000
        registered users, creating over 2,000 new groups, and generating over
1
        million page views a month.



Jive Commentary
    --  "Internal Evangelists are the true heroes of the Enterprise 2.0
        revolution, preaching the principles of the 2.0 movement, building the
        C-level business cases, and driving adoption across large
enterprises,"
        said Susan Scrupski, founder of the 2.0 Adoption Council. "Claire
        embodies the spirit of the Internal Evangelist and will help inspire
        other evangelists who are looking to drive seismic change in their
        enterprises. To quote one of her colleagues, 'I believe Claire's
program
        marks a clear line in the sand, a before and after point in time for
        CSC.'"

    --  "Claire has been a tireless advocate of Social Business Software
within
        her organization and within the greater Enterprise 2.0 community. She
is
        very deserving of this accolade," said Dave Hersh, CEO of Jive
Software.
        "I speak for all of Jive in congratulating Claire on being recognized
by
        her peers to receive the Internal Evangelist of the Year award. She
has
        set an example of what Social Business Software can accomplish within
        large enterprise settings, and she continues to help guide Jive on
        expanding that vision through future innovation."
