Our Manifesto
People have been spontaneously creating communities and sharing knowledge through history, and today that knowledge is scattered all around the world; in forums, on information portals and social media networks.
We are not benefiting from it.
Everyone has that problem, from big industries, to non profit organisations to large companies.
The only way to resolve this problem is to help and encourage knowledge exchange under your own roof, and in this digitally connected world where your location doesn’t matter, a cloud hosted platform is the best way.
TallyFox has had its hand on the pulse of the collaboration industry for almost a decade now, and we have decided to put our expertise to use and focus solely on a product that would empower business ecosystems of the future - Our intelligence platform : TallyFox Tallium
We are not just seeing the bigger picture, we help you create one.
The Water Network
In 2010 TallyFox launched the first Knowledge Network for water professionals. Today TheWaterNetwork.org is the leading online network for global water professionals with over 10,000 companies represented from 195 countries. We are proud to provide our platform to help the world's water professionals address the complex issues that result in over 1 billion people not having access to clean drinking water and sanitation. Individual professionals can join for free. Professional workspaces for non profits and educational institutions are provided at no charge.
The Energy, and Food networks are in planning. We are dedicated to provide Knowledge Networks for the world's most critical sectors. If you would like one in your own we would love to hear from you.
Our story
Tally sticks are an ancient way of recording numbers, quantities and agreements. They catalogue valuable data as evidence, to be shared in an intelligent way. The morning we created our name, a red fox was seen at sunrise sleeping on our office's doorstep in downtown Zurich. This occurred just days after my beloved red haired mother, Margaret, passed away. Lore has it that a fox sighting is a signal from the spirits of the deceased, appropriate as both my mother and foxes are known for their intelligence and wisdom. Margaret believed that intelligent collaboration can improve the human condition and the world we live in, so do we - and so TallyFox was born.
