eXo Platform is an open source team collaboration software [1][2] designed for medium to large organizations. Based on a portal core, the software suite includes a number of integrated collaboration, communication and knowledge management features. It can be used to design customized workplace solutions such as company intranet, enterprise social network, digital workplace or company knowledge base.
Technical information[edit]
eXo Platform’s code is written in Java. eXo Platform is open source and leverages many open-source components such as the Java EE stack, MongoDB for chat or ElasticSearch for search. At the heart of the software lies a microkernel that manages core services - user management, permissions, notifications and storage. Based on that kernel: - the portal framework manages authentication and the UI composition, including a built-in Intranet; - the social layer provides necessary components for user centric collaboration such as activity streams and rich user profiles. Finally, other user-facing collaboration apps and services, integrated to the social layer, complete the software architecture.
eXo Platform relies on public interoperability standards including Java EE, portlets, OpenSocial, WebDav, CMIS, LDAP and iCal. It also includes APIs, enabling extensive custom integrations through documented extension points.

History[edit]
The open-source project eXo Platform started in 2002 as the very first implementation of the JSR168 - Portlet API specification. The implementation was described in several introduction articles published between 2003 and 2005 on TheServerSide Java news website. An eponyme company eXo Platform was incorporated in 2003 to serve the needs of the United States Department of Defense ( United States Joint Forces Command).[3] that needed professional support of the software. In 2006 eXo introduced the WebOS concept where an Enterprise Portal Layout could reproduce a Desktop UI.[3][4]
In 2010, eXo Platform and Red Hat partnered to launch GateIn - a portal product based on the JBoss application server. In 2011, eXo launched eXo cloud IDE, a tooling solution for developers online. The project separated in 2013 via a spin-off company Codenvy. The latter developed the software as cloud workspaces for developers and launched Eclipse Che based on the open-source version. The company was subsequently acquired by Red Hat in 2017. In May 2013, eXo Platform introduced Social Network and Social Integration capabilities[6] as well as cloud capabilities[5]. In late 2014, eXo Platform 4.0 version was released as an integrated platform with collaborative, knowledge management as well as social features. eXo Platform 5.0 version was released in March 2018. This latest version focuses on the user-experience and the performance.
