Sironta is an open source P2P collaborative tool used for exchanging, creating and editing documents that require teamwork.

Sironta connects two or more users to share files without violating the terms of confidentiality or the NDA that such documents may have.

The application has OpenOffice embedded to create and edit documents that can be shared with other Sironta users.

The application has Linux, Windows and Mac OS versions.

History
In July 2005 TechIDEAS, a high-tech SME involved in EU Research Projects, contributed to the definition of ICT research priorities needed to arrive at a European concept of Digital Ecosystems (The DEN4DEK and the OPAALS Projects) that support SMEs and regional development.

In November 2006, TechIDEAS, started the project Sironta to collaborate with its partners following the room metaphor and in 2007 they already had the first version of the program. Noting the success they obtained between their partners, in 2010 TechIDEAS decides to make public the application.
