Colligo Contributor for SharePoint

Colligo Contributor is a family of desktop software applications developed on the Microsoft .NET framework, that are designed to increase SharePoint user adoption by addressing "problems on the UI and user experience fronts".[12] These applications are compatible with servers running Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, SharePoint 2010,[13] or SharePoint 2013. Colligo Contributor has been called a “client for SharePoint”[7] because it "integrates the client infrastructure with the SharePoint infrastructure",[14] providing a local user interface that is an alternative to the typical SharePoint interface through a browser.[15] The architecture of the local data store enables users to optionally cache SharePoint content, making it available online and offline.[6] Colligo Contributor also includes a software development kit to build custom SharePoint client applications, and extensions such as custom metadata editors.[16]

Colligo contributor can be used to solve SharePoint usability challenges in several scenarios, such as e-mail and attachment management,[15][17] network file share replacement,[12] enterprise content management,[13] and SharePoint migration.[18] Colligo for SharePoint products are used by over 1,000 organizations (as of June 2009)[12] and have contributed to significant revenue growth for Colligo Networks in 2008, 2009 and 2010.[19][20][21][22]
