Collaboration Matters is one of the UK's leading social software consultancies.

Based in Southern England, we have constructed a dynamic and flexible team that can call on some of the most innovative minds in the social collaboration field. We operate throughout the UK as well as building strategic relationships with organisations in mainland Europe and the USA to help us serve the needs of our customers wherever they may be based.

We have many years' experience in designing, implementing and driving adoption of social software solutions, in addition to entire careers devoted to working in the collaboration software space.

Our partnerships with leading vendors in this space (IBM, Google, Atlassian and SocialText amongst others) mean that we can offer truly independent consultancy and best-of-breed solutions to our customers whatever their existing computing investments.

We aim to deliver intelligent, elegant, social IT solutions internally within small businesses, knowledge-focused corporations, education and not-for-profit organisations.

The advent of social software this decade has transformed how we think of connecting with others outside work - at Collaboration Matters we believe passionately in its ability to also transform the way we work.
