Enterprise social software, also known as Enterprise 2.0, is a term describing social software used in business contexts. It includes social media and networked modifications to company intranets and other classic software platforms used by large companies to organize their communication.

In contrast to traditional enterprise software, which imposes structure prior to use, enterprise social software tends to encourage use prior to providing structure. The Association for Information and Image Management (AIIM) defines Enterprise 2.0 as "a system of web-based technologies that provide rapid and agile collaboration, information sharing, emergence and integration capabilities in the extended enterprise."
