eRoom is an on-line project collaboration, or collaborative software solution developed byeRoom Technology Inc., of Cambridge, Massachusetts, offering e-mail, calendaring, instant messaging and document management.

The company, first called Instinctive Technology, was founded by a group predominantly from Lotus Development, which was acquired by IBM Corporation, and led by Jeffrey Beir.

One o feRoom's first clients was Hewlett-Packard, which became one of the first clients to use eRoom's hosted service, in which the eRoom software was run on its own servers rather than the customers' servers, and was the application was for a monthly fee.

In December, 2002, (announced in October) Documentum acquired eRoom Technology in a cash-and-stock transaction valued at more than $100 million. After Documentum bought Technology, Inc., they began integrating eRooms with their Content management platform, Documentum 5. The first integrated release, eRoom Enterprise, was released in February, 2003. Version 7 of eRoom, which was released later that year, added a library of horizontal applications for audit management, deal management, customer management and project management.

In October, 2003, almost a year after the eRoom acquisition, Documentum, Inc, was purchased by EMC².
