About

Open Social is a purpose-built community engagement platform. Developed on top of a powerful open-source Drupal technology framework, Open Social allows organizations to create a central online hub for their members. Open Social allows easy communication, group formation, content collaboration, event creation, social interaction and seamless sharing of ideas, experiences, expertise and more. A community is much more than just a group of people in the same place or space. A community is made up of members who connect and come together around a shared identity, interest, passion, project or purpose. Open Social specializes in creating highly engaging online community platforms. We tailor every platform to the unique needs of each organization, making sure we help you serve your member needs and reach your shared goals. Those needs and goals are different for each organization. It all depends on what type of community you are!
