Flexible online communities provide an optimal platform for supporting customer interactions - co-designing products, crowdsourcing insights, peer-to-peer care, and word-of-mouth marketing - that directly drive business innovation.
HiveLive's LiveConnect Community Platform offers a flexible building-block approach to creating custom-fit online customer communities. Web 2.0 building blocks called Hives combine people, information, and permissions to create flexible social media applications.
