Colligo Contributor is a proprietary software package aimed at businesses, developed by Colligo Networks of Vancouver, British Columbia. Colligo Contributor was launched in 2006[1] and is part of a family of Colligo products that provide rich client interfaces[2] for Microsoft SharePoint, a collaborative portal application based on the Windows SharePoint Services platform. The Colligo for SharePoint product line also includes a free product called Colligo Reader.[1][3][4][5]

Colligo Contributor is now part of Colligo Engage.[6]

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]
