We just released an update to our Enterprise Collaboration and Social Software Report which evaluates nineteen Enterprise 2.0 vendors. Version 4.1 includes updated reviews of three software suites (Jive, Socialtext, blueKiwi) and two specialists (MindTouch, Mediawiki).

Here’s a quick snapshot of what you’ll find in this update:  

• As before, Jive’s software continues to change rapidly from version to version. New modules are being added -- and older ones getting booted out -- fairly regularly as the company strives to maintain its marketplace momentum 
  
  
• Socialtext is championing “social as a layer,” but enterprise integration is never an easy undertaking


• blueKiwi is aggressively courting European enterprises while attempting to add more collaboration services into its networking-oriented platform


• MindTouch no longer focuses on plain-vanilla wikis and internal collaboration, but is going after the online product help and technical documentation use cases


• Mediawiki, open source and powering the biggest wiki of them all (Wikipedia), maintains its “tech-at-heart” profile

One more thing; HD resolution may be new in iPad 3, but our evaluation research has always provided the clearest picture and the richest detail for technology buyers. Version 4.1 continues this time-honored tradition...
