Concursive's ConcourseConnect enables organizations to create dynamic communities and involve various stakeholders in a collaborative environment.  ConcourseConnect is developed by the Concursive Corporation, and Concursive's products are used by large enterprises and thousands of small businesses alike.  As Chief Architect of ConcourseConnect, I have intimate knowledge of how it works.  I spend a lot of time researching collaboration and over the years I have played a role in designing, deploying and on-boarding various community building tools.  So let me tell you about ConcourseConnect and how it compares to the competition.

The first product I want to compare it to is Jive SBS.  Jive SBS made a splash in 2009 with the release of its SBS brand.  Jive Software is also a private company with thousands of customers.  Personally, as an avid user around Jive's social business software, including Clearspace and SBS, I can explain some of the nuances between Jive and ConcourseConnect.  I can't be completely objective, but I can provide specific examples to back up my thoughts.  I have been a consultant to Fortune 500 and Global 1000 companies using Jive so I have a sense of how large enterprises use it.  I have also helped companies migrate off of Jive onto ConcourseConnect and other platforms.  The Jive installations that I have seen use community tools like pictures, videos, blogs, documents, and mostly discussion forums.
