Clearspace is a commercial Java EE based Enterprise 2.0 collaboration and knowledge management tool produced by Jive Software. It is unusual in that it integrates the functionality of discussion forums, blogs, wikis, IM chat and VOIP 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, and personal user profiles.

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 -- Clearspace users have reported successful deployment in both shared environments and multiple machine clusters.
