eXo is an open source, open standard, Enterprise-scale portal, content management system and WebOS for Microsoft Windows and Unix-like operating systems. The eXo Platform project started in 2003 as an implementation of the first portlet API (JSR168).[2] eXo Platform is developed using Java technology. It innovated in the portal landscape by defining a new layout for portals and portlets: the WebOS.[3]

eXo Platform also provides a new way to collaborate in the enterprise, using eXo Social. eXo Platform is working actively on OpenSocial[4] to push for adoption of this standard in the Enterprise. Benjamin Mestrallet, CEO at eXo Platform SAS, has stated that the Enterprise needs the same Social Network features as any consumer Web site[5] and that eXo Social can help to deploy it in-house.
