Standard Chartered is implementing Jive‘s collaboration and enterprise mobility solutions.
The international banking group will use the Jive-n internal community solution to connect its 90,000 global employees.
Jive’s product combines peer-to-peer collaboration, formal internal communications and human resources help desk into one digital workplace hub. It is designed to cater to the culturally diverse and multi-generational workforce of a global company.
Roll-out of the solution to the workforce will begin later this year, replacing the company’s existing communications channels. Standard Chartered joins several financial services institutions which use Jive products, including Bank of the West, Credit Suisse, Euroclear Bank, FICO, Grant Thornton and Prudential.
Mark Devadason, accountable executive for the project at Standard Chartered, commented: "Our international network is one of Standard Chartered’s key differentiators, which is why we’ve made collaboration a top strategic priority for the company.
"Jive will further our competitive advantage by breaking down silos across locations, languages and business divisions so we can all work better together as we bring our valuable expertise to customers.
"When our tech savvy employees come to work, they expect the same social and mobile capabilities that they’re used to enjoying in their personal lives, and we chose Jive because it will help us meet those expectations through a best-in-class community that supports each employee’s own unique style of collaboration."
"Standard Chartered’s award-winning digital offerings are the hallmark of excellence in the internet banking industry, and it’s exciting to see the company apply a similarly innovative approach to its internal collaboration capabilities," said David Macmillan, general manager of EMEA at Jive Software.
"By allowing employees to work with whatever devices or office productivity tools they prefer, Jive will help the bank foster a wide variety of different workstyles and garner real business value from the best collaboration and communications solution on the market."
