Enterprise social software

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Enterprise social software refers to social software used in enterprise business contexts. Enterprise 2.0 or Enterprise Web 2.0^[1] are terms derived from Web 2.0 that are sometimes used to cover the introduction and implementation of such software, and the social and organizational changes related to its use.

Enterprise social software includes social and networked modifications to company intranets and other classic software platforms used by large companies to organize their communication. In contrast to traditional enterprise software, which imposes structure prior to use, this generation of software tends to encourage use prior to providing structure.
