This document summarizes a presentation from the JiveWorld conference about integrating systems with Jive. It discusses: 1. Different integration patterns for Jive like adding new capabilities, displaying information, and aggregating streams. 2. Accenture's experience building a workflow tool as Jive plugins and lessons learned in moving to the tile model in Jive 7. 3. Tips for developers in using the Jive SDK like focusing tile content and interactions, managing activity stream data, and leveraging new Jive extension points.

- 1. join the conversation - #JiveWorld JIVETalks: Developer SUBBU NATARAJAN, ACCENTURE PATRICK LI, APPFUSIONS NILS HEUER, POKESHOT
- 2. Subbu Natarajan Social Collaboration – Accenture Patrick Li Co-Founder/Sr. Architect – AppFusions Nils Heuer CEO & Founder – Pokeshot
- 3. Integration patterns • Add capability to Jive that’s not out of the box • Display and interact with salient information • Create a holistic view of activity through stream aggregation and federation How to Move From Plugins to Cloud Subbu Natarajan – Accenture Effective System Integration Techniques Patrick Li – AppFusions Pick the Right Extension Points for Effectiveness Nils Heuer – Pokeshot
- 4. Integration Patterns How to move from plugins to cloud Subbu Natarajan - Accenture Effective system integration techniques Patrick Li – AppFusions Pick the right extension points for development effectiveness Nils Heuer -- Pokeshot Tiles & StreamsApps Tiles & Streams Apps • Add capability to Jive that’s not out of the box • Display & interact with salient information • Create a holistic view of activity through stream aggregation & federation
- 5. MOVING FROM PLUGINS TO PURPOSEFUL PLACES
- 6. Integration patterns The before model: plugins Workflow widgets • Functionality: Business wants repeatable business process (templates) but that’s often difficult within a social collaboration tool • Asset: Accenture PMO solution provides ability to create workflow and content templates to apply for reusable processes (e.g. PMO) • • Technical solution: Developed the solution as plugin – Widget for workflow definition (data collection) – e.g. for PMO selection of project type, assigning project roles, pointing alternate templates – Workflow engine for state transition – creation of tasks based on progress of activities – Widget for user actions – so user finishes workflow step – Widget for exception handling – Other UX widgets for overall dashboard and activity stream view 6
- 7. Accenture social workflow – widgets 7 Select Widgets from the solution Create workflow Show summary steps Create tasks Show key tasks/actions across all users Project status
- 8. Accenture social workflow – tiles
- 9. Learnings The after model in progress: Purposeful Places with tiles Requirement Widget model Tile model Learning so far Widget configuration 2-3 widgets need basic configuration on container (e.g. workflow is PMO type) Purposeful place template so tiles can be pre- configured to retain those values Tiles are “group/context” aware – unlike widgets. During tile registration, the tile needs to define itself with right parameters Project Status 2 widgets – one containing completion gauge and another containing pending actions Gauge tile – with custom JSON gives consistent presentation Tasks become Action Items and can be used to capture decisions as well Workflow backend Widget calls REST API to know what changed. Workflow engine leverages meta model to create tasks in Jive During tile rendering, using osapi.http.get, tile gets the backend information and then internally invokes Jive calls via Jive core JS API Have to work with the JS / REST API set and what’s enabled there Widget templates in group Additional code to create group and configure widgets Captured in Purposeful place template and default widgets Can create more default project templates for pre- defined project categories
- 10. Expanding further • Insurance and Pharma solutions: – Need is to build collaboration solutions on top of transaction platforms (workflow tools like Pega in insurance or purpose-built clinical platforms) – Need is to also work with the cloud so solution is available for a wider variety of customers – Apps market is great but purpose-built templates enhance user experience significantly • Summary: – Early tests indicate superior adoption potential with Purposeful Places due to need for minimized handling code (configuration) and seamless user experience – Limited dependency on upgrade paths – Caution needs to be exercised to ensure all APIs are available via REST/JS 10

- 15. Jive-SDK using • Tiles are much simpler to develop than gadgets (Jive 6); you only need to worry about what data to send • The Jive SDK takes care of many low level details, such as OAuth 2 support, allowing developers to focus on implementing business needs, the fun part • The SDK does not require the developers to have an in-depth knowledge on some of the technologies used, such as OpenSocial Gadget and Embedded Experience, lets you get up and running and be productive in less than an hour, fast!

- 19. Tips and lessons learned • Use tiles to show only the most relevant/useful information, i.e. summary view 19
- 20. Tips and lessons learned • Use tile actions to present additional information and interact with users/backend system • Use AJAX in your tile actions to provide more complete context about the information
- 21. Tips and lessons learned • Be conscious on the amount of data sent to activity stream. Use techniques such as throttle timer, data filtering to control what is sent • Stay focused with your activity stream, in context of the purposeful place

- 24. PICK THE RIGHT EXTENSION POINTS FOR DEVELOPMENT EFFECTIVENESS
- 25. /// Overview " SmarterPath is a social learning management system (LMS) built specifically for Jive " Brings support for building curriculums, eLearning trainings, webinars and reporting to the Jive platform " Time to minimum viable product: 2 months with 2.5 developers " Targeted at Jive 6 and current Jive Cloud, but incorporating new Jive capabilities as they become available •
- 26. /// Technology " Jive 6 targeted App, currently available on the Jive Apps Market " Base frontend built dynamically on the server side using signed proxied content, additional data retrieved via webservices (osapi.http) and bound to UI using Knockout.js " Integrating Jive 7 extension points to embed the functionality deeper into the Jive UX, making SmarterPath feel less like a separate app: “Liberate learning from the LMS” ///////////!
- 27. /// Technology " Jive 6: 90% of user interaction happens within the canvas view ///////////!
- 28. /// Technology " Jive 7: Learners can access a large percentage of the functionality from the places that they already frequent in Jive (groups, profiles, streams) ///////////!
- 29. /// Technology " Tiles are easy to use. We implemented tiles support in .Net within 3 days " Apps and Purposeful Places are great for business apps; do not rely on them for technical integrations or customizations " Start leveraging new extension points early, since they do not affect existing customers on earlier versions " Using Jive as a platform, you will be able to build enterprise apps that blow other solutions out of the water in terms of functionality and UX. And you can do it with a fraction of the effort! ///////////!
