About Calinda Software:

Calinda Software SAS is a French start-up that was honored with several awards for its innovations that dramatically improve the efficiency of enterprise collaboration.

Given the lack of meaningful solutions to improve the efficiency of collaborative work in a natural way without having to completely change everybody's work habits, Calinda invented SocialFactor to bring it to every company that has to get things done collaboratively and keep a clear vision.
