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". [7] These applications are compatible with servers running Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, SharePoint 2010, [8] or SharePoint 2013. Colligo Contributor has been called a "client for SharePoint" [2] because it "integrates the client infrastructure with the SharePoint infrastructure", [9] providing a local user interface that is an alternative to the typical SharePoint interface through a browser. [10] The architecture of the local data store enables users to optionally cache SharePoint content, making it available online and offline. [1] Colligo Contributor also includes a software development kit to build custom SharePoint client applications, and extensions such as custom metadata editors. [11]

Colligo contributor can be used to solve SharePoint usability challenges in several scenarios, such as email and attachment management, [10] [12] network file share replacement, [7] enterprise content management, [8] and SharePoint migration. [13]
