Ruum

Ruum is an Estonian noun meaning room or space. In everyday language it denotes a physical area within a building as well as a more abstract sense of capacity or extent. The term appears in a range of contexts, including architecture, interior design, urban planning, and discussions of spatial organization. It is used in standard Estonian grammar and forms part of many compound expressions describing different kinds of spaces.

In digital and software contexts, ruum is used to describe a virtual space, workspace, or collaboration area within applications. Products and services marketed under the name Ruum or ruum typically aim to provide shared spaces for teams to store, discuss, and organize information. While the exact features differ by vendor, common elements include document sharing, task management, messaging, and access controls, all framed as “rooms” or “spaces” for team coordination.

As a brand name, Ruum has been adopted by multiple software vendors for tools centered on collaboration and workspace management. The use of a generic term as a product name means that different offerings may vary significantly in interface and capabilities. Prospective users should consult the specific vendor’s documentation to understand the scope, integrations, and pricing of a given Ruum product.
