New Release of Liferay Social Office 2.0

In today’s workplace, new tools and technology are often introduced with the hope that their adoption will yield new heights of productivity and collaboration. Unfortunately, while many tools are impressive in and of themselves, without the proper structure driving their usage, they are unable to deliver far-reaching and comprehensive organizational impact. With this in mind, Liferay created Social Office, a dynamic team workspace solution that provides holistic enhancement to the way colleagues work together. Unlike conventional collaboration products, Social Office does more than just enhance communication with new tools. Rather, by adapting today’s most innovative social technologies to the unique needs of productivity and goal-driven enterprise teams, it enables an important shift in how and why communication happens.

“A marketplace allows developers anywhere to have direct access to all users of a specific
