Jive SBS, or "Social Business Software" (formerly known as Clearspace) is a commercial Java EE-based Enterprise 2.0 collaboration and knowledge management tool produced by Jive Software. It was first released as "Clearspace" in 2006, and was renamed SBS in March 2009.^[2]

Jive SBS integrates the functionality of online communities, microblogging, social networking, discussion forums, blogs, wikis, and IM under one unified user interface. From a user perspective, input is fairly format-agnostic as collaborative content placed into any system (blog, wiki, documentation, etc.) can later be retrieved through use of a common search interface. Other features include RSS capability, email integration, a reputation and reward system for participation, personal user profiles, JAX-WS web service interoperability, and integration with the Spring framework.

The product is a pure-Java server-side web application and will run on any platform where Java (JDK 1.5 or better) is installed. It does not require a dedicated server - SBS users have reported successful deployment in both shared environments and multiple machine clusters.^{[citation needed]}
