Nonetheless, upon seeing the potential that this tool could have within a company, a more corporate approach was given to it each time. At the same time, the "surname" social and the 2.0 style was inundating the Internet and it was then that the decision was taken to add collaborative and communicative functionalities to it that later converted it to what it is today: an intranet 2.0 or company social network. This part of Zyncro‘s trajectory is what Didac Lee, founder of Grupo Inspirit, considers the a "Journey accross the desert", which all startups must endure. Thanks to the appointment of Luis Font as Zyncro CEO in November 2010, the business strategy and product definition became polished and sales and marketing departments were consolidated until we became what we are today.
