What is a Community Collaboration Platform?

In today’s digital world, organizations don’t just need communities—they need collaborative ecosystems where members can engage, share knowledge and work together to drive mission-critical outcomes. Traditional community platforms focus only engagement, while collaboration tools are designed purely for internal teams. But what happens when organizations need both?

This is where Open Social’s Community Collaboration Platform comes in. Built for enterprise-level collaboration, our platform enables organizations to connect, collaborate and create impact—all within a secure, structured environment that they fully control.

What is a Community Collaboration Platform?

A Community Collaboration Platform goes beyond simple discussions and engagement. It provides the tools and structure organizations need to collaborate within and across their communities—whether it’s for working on industry standards, co-authoring reports, conducting audits,or sharing critical insights across global teams.

With Open Social’s platform, businesses can:
Bring their ecosystem together—from employees and partners to industry stakeholders
Facilitate real work—with document collaboration and structured workflows
Ensure security & governance—with enterprise-grade access controls and compliance
Scale effortlessly—supporting multi-level communities, sub-groups and global networks.

Why enterprises need more than just a community platform

Most enterprise collaboration happens in silos, with teams using disconnected tools that don’t support external stakeholders. Intranets work well for internal teams, but what about associations, federations, or multi-stakeholder organizations that need structured collaboration across companies and institutions?

Our Community Collaboration Platform is designed for these complex ecosystems, enabling organizations to:
- Break down silos and enable seamless collaboration across organizations
- Drive engagement while ensuring structured, goal-oriented collaboration
- Manage complex hierarchies with advanced permissions and access control
- Ensure long-term innovation with a platform that evolves alongside their needs

Build over buy decision

Enterprises face a key decision: build a custom platform or invest in a proven, scalable solution. While building in-house may seem cost-effective, it comes with risks—long development cycles, hidden maintenance costs and difficulty keeping up with evolving technology.
