Liferay recently released the enterprise edition of Liferay Social Office 2.0. The community edition came out last August. Social Office is a full social platform that includes blogs, wikis, activity streams, profiles, tasks, sites, instant messaging and document collaboration. The enterprise edition is the same as the community edition, but has been hardened for enterprise use and includes additional document and content management features. You can easily integrate Social Office features with your Liferay Portal too.
Liferay Social Office packs a lot of very nice features into an easy to install and manageable application. Because all the applications are portlets or plugins, you can mix and match other Liferay portlets with the social tools on a page. While you will need to purchase a service agreement to use the enterprise version, it is well worth it.
You can see a live version of the Liferay blog application running Waste Management’s Thinking Green blog. Perficient helped customize the Liferay blog to meet their needs.
You can download the Social Office products from Liferay’s Marketplace, which is their online App Store.
