        practices of Enterprise 2.0."  The award was presented to Flanagan by
        Andrew McAfee, widely regarded as the "father" of the enterprise 2.0

Jive Commentary

    --  "Internal Evangelists are the true heroes of the Enterprise 2.0
        revolution, preaching the principles of the 2.0 movement, building the
        C-level business cases, and driving adoption across large enterprises,"
        said Susan Scrupski, founder of the 2.0 Adoption Council. "Claire
        embodies the spirit of the Internal Evangelist and will help inspire
        other evangelists who are looking to drive seismic change in their
        enterprises. To quote one of her colleagues, 'I believe Claire's program
        marks a clear line in the sand, a before and after point in time for
        CSC.'"

    --  "Claire has been a tireless advocate of Social Business Software within
        her organization and within the greater Enterprise 2.0 community. She is
        very deserving of this accolade," said Dave Hersh, CEO of Jive Software.
        "I speak for all of Jive in congratulating Claire on being recognized by
        her peers to receive the Internal Evangelist of the Year award. She has
        set an example of what Social Business Software can accomplish within
        large enterprise settings, and she continues to help guide Jive on
        expanding that vision through future innovation."
