Frequently Asked Questions
What is Skillhive?
Skillhive is a unique enterprise collaboration application designed for locating and sharing expertise within an organization. Skillhive enables employees within an organization to connect with the right people who are experts in a specific topic or field of work and ask for their assistance.
Communication takes place within swarms of experts which are organized around shared objects: ideas, problems or projects. With Skillhive the right expertise can be gathered effectively from across the organization for projects or other resourcing needs. Problem solving becomes faster and experts are able to make better decisions together. At the same time the management gets a new and up-to-date view on personnel skills and interest within the organization.

How does Skillhive differ from alternative solutions?
Typically these kind of solutions for mapping, managing and sharing expertise are stiff and bureaucratic. This is because the solutions are designed for management purposes not for the employees. Skillhive is a user-friendly and visually motivating application meant for the whole organization. Skillhive enables everyone to share ideas, problems or projects and creates a “swarm” of experts to work on it.
Skillhive does not compete with Sharepoint or other intranet systems and it can be fully integrated into existing intranet systems.
Integration to other software?
Skillhive uses advanced application programming interfaces (API) which enable organizations to integrate their existing HR or intranet systems with Skillhive smoothly and without any lengthy IT-projects.
Identity management can be easily integrated to your existing Active Directory (LDAP/AD). Therefore users do not have to remember separate usernames or passwords. They can simply use the same login information as in the other systems the organization utilizes. AD/LDAP integration also enables automated user management which means that Skillhive users can be created, updated and deleted automatically. Also personal information (name, department, location, email) can be retrieved from the LDAP/AD server, therefore users do not have to fill in the same information repeatedly. This also speeds up the implementation phase and facilitates the usage.
In addition to the identity management integration we have implemented different Single Sign-On (SSO) methods. With SSO users do not have to input their passwords or usernames to login to Skillhive. The user only has to login to the organization’s intranet or other similar system.
Skillhive’s interfaces enable the transfer of any information to other systems. For example all the information on Skillhive´s user profiles (skills, interests, achievements) can be transferred into other existing systems. Organization´s search engines (intranet, etc.) can also be integrated with Skillhive making it possible to do searches in Skillhive using the organization’s intranet.
How can I start using Skillhive?
Contact us and we will arrange a meeting where we can discuss your organization’s needs and agree on what is the best implementation solution for your organization. At the same time we can evaluate possible integration procedures to existing processes and systems.
