There are many open source collaboration solutions but if you need commercial support and solutions that are proven to scale and integrate; Cleartext recommends Jive Software's Clearspace product and offers it via an application hosting service.

Clearspace delivers a "social productivity" solution that brings together employees, partners and customers into a unified collaboration system so they can create better products, faster processes and improved relationships.

People Centric

No matter where you are in Clearspace, people are moving work ahead. Simply mouse over anyone to see if they're online and get context for who they are and what they've been up to.

Leverage social networks

Often it's hard to remember what role our co-workers have or where they fit in the company. Clearspace makes it simple. Built-in rich organizational charts make finding colleagues, reports, and managers a snap. And not only can you see the formal business relationships, but Clearspace also displays other people who are similar to the person you're learning about to form a topical social network.

Share your success

Start having the big conversations across your organization, and give important partners and vendors permission to access certain spaces to collaborate with your team. Now, what used to require numerous emails and scheduling, is handled seamlessly within Clearspace's collaboration framework.

Discover untapped talent

Find new talent as you collaborate. Advanced people searching makes it easy to connect you to people who can help. Dynamically-created profiles, personal tag clouds and user status makes it easy to find exactly the right person to help. Clearspace brings together people who might not have normally connected.

Get the credit you deserve

Assign value in multiple ways to encourage the right sort of participation. Different values can be assigned to the creation or participation of documents, posts, blogs, the answering of questions and more. Earning higher rankings are a proven way to boost community activity and the quality of participation. Not only can you rate other people's content but the community can rate yours, too. It's a great way to not only find highly rated content, but for other people to associate you with valuable work.
