xTune is an enterprise social software designed for connecting and sharing expertise within an organization. xTune can be used for competence-based management, knowledge management, talent management, and innovation management. [1]:{{{3}}}
xTune is targeted to medium and large sized businesses operating in a complex environment where collaboration and sharing expertise is vital.
The concept behind xTune, called "swarming," aims to imitate swarm intelligence - a form of collective intelligence. This behavior enables even large groups to work flexibly together towards a common goal. [2]:{{{3}}} [3]:{{{3}}} [4]:{{{3}}}
Technology

The service also uses Wikipedia integration which retrieves competence descriptions directly from Wikipedia to xTune.[5]:{{{3}}}
