Abstract
The marketplace of Enterprise 2.0 tools that support knowledge workers within companies to work together
on cognitive tasks and share information and knowledge is diversified and offers commercial systems of
varying complexity and functional range as well as open source software. Like commercial systems, open
source tools for Enterprise 2.0 provide a broad range of functionality and offer a good alternative for
organisations – especially for SMEs. This paper presents a study of the growing market for Enterprise 2.0
systems and focuses entirely on ones that are available under an open source license. We introduce a set of
97 individual features and criteria to assess a representative sample of open source Enterprise 2.0 tools. Our
results show that the marketplace of open source tools for Enterprise 2.0 offers technically mature solutions
with a broad range of functionality.
