About the Social Collaboration Study

Since 2015, the German Social Collaboration Study has provided a comprehensive, tool- and vendor-independent overview of the development of digitally networked collaboration in companies. It focuses on how modern technologies impact productivity, how employee collaboration correlates with job satisfaction, and what insights companies can draw from these findings. 

The study is published by the Department of Information Systems at the Technical University of Darmstadt, led by Prof. Dr. Peter Buxmann, in cooperation with Campana & Schott. 

The 2025 survey included over 500 employees from large and medium-sized companies across a wide range of industries in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The participants are primarily employed in upper mid-sized companies, large enterprises, and corporations.
