Any experience with integration of Adobe Experience Manager with Jive?

[jmaaks]

Our company has standardized on Jive as our internal collaboration platform, and for our external online community.  We're deploying Adobe Experience Manager for enterprise content management, mainly to feed our customer and partner portals, as well as for our corporate website.

Is there any way to integrate AEM with Jive in order to provide a more structured content management back-end capability for our non-social content, while using Jive as the front-end?  The capabilities we're wanting to add to Jive by doing this would be more of a content workflow and approval process, as well as expiration policies for content, but still leverage the social features of Jive for this content.

Thanks!

Integration of AEM with Jive is not a feature at the AEM product level. It could be done through customization since both AEM and Jive provide server endpoints for integration, but it would likely be a lot of work. AEM offers content management and approval workflows as well as community and collaboration features. In addition, AEM Communities 6.1 which is now available provides author-side tools to quickly create communities. A discussion-based community with forums, private messages, activitystreams, and social logins can be created in just a few minutes using in-the-box community templates and style sheets. Further customization can be achieved using the standard Sites authoring tools.

If your company is already an AEM customer, we'd be very interested in understanding if there were functional gaps or perhaps some misunderstandings that lead to the selection of Jive for public communities rather than AEM Communities. Please reach out to our sales and product management teams so that we can have that dialog.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out to Adobe Community.

As per my knowledge I haven't seen any use cases for AEM and Jive integration. However we do have AEM Social Communities platform to develop communities. You can find out more on this here:

Thanks!

Thanks for the replies and your feedback.

To clarify, Jive has been our standard platform for internal collaboration and external communities for a number of years.  We have no desire or plans to replace it with AEM Communities.  AEM itself is a very recent replacement for a prior ECM solution, therefore my desire is to leverage AEM behind Jive if possible.

we are in the same shoes.

the company has been using Jive as our intranet, but we just M&A with a new company that uses AEM and we plan to switch to AEM for our CMS and central repository. 

It would be nice to point to AEM content and view it from Jive as HTML.
