About

Affinity is an ambitious startup based out of Northern California, U.S.A. In the professional setup, contacts are a significant part of your proficiency and experience. The more executives you meet, the more you learn and the wider your network gets. A vital requirement or benefit of developing relationships is to be able to summon them at the right time. These relationships can be contextually derived from the contact list of your phone or from the address book of your E-mail. Tracking your contacts constantly as they increase substantially over time is not viable for anybody. The required implementations are quite clinically provided by Affinity.

Affinity supplements you with the right professional links you’ve developed and at the right time. This is done quite sharply without any delay and you need not rack your brains over it too. Well defined frameworks are developed which figure out the right context of them being used. Suitable actions to be performed are then generated based on your network behavior. With Affinity you uncover technology which takes you into uncharted waters.

Mission  

One of the clearly etched goals of Team Affinity is dwelling into executive relationships and helping you in deciding when, where you need those the most.

The workable information is organized into a relational framework from where executable actions are generated.

These actions bear a strong relationship to the situation at hand and are hence very contextual. The communication ensued values the relationships you’ve developed over a significant course of your professional tenure. Speed of retrieval and its efficiency are of outmost importance as well.

Features

Relational Management

The relations you develop form the network you can professionally fall back upon. But efficiently being able to organize your contacts is practically not possible once this network of yours starts expanding exponentially. Your contacts are extracted out from the phonebook of your cell phone and from the address book of your E-Mail account. Affinity has intelligence built into it which helps it in predicting when and where, which contacts can be used. It provides regular updates on communication and integrates tools that aid in contact administration.

Statistical Insights

The insights about all the relationships can be garnered easily and these insights can be further extended to draw our own results for the growth of our firm and our network as well. You need different relationships at different situations. This contextual correctness of using a particular relationship is highlighted by Affinity.

Sharp Graphical Depictions

Affinity depicts the information it gathers through interactive graphical tools like graphs and pie charts. These depictions are highly intuitive and resolve connections between separate entities. Inferences are drawn from these depictions which help in substantiating the growth of your firm. The data can be presented effectively in front of your colleagues and prospective clients too.

Right Collaborations

Synergic collaborations can be extended through Affinity. Once you gain relevant insight about an existing professional relationship of yours you can very well coordinate the workflow with them. Even associating with them for a longer course is not a bad idea too if the alliance is working out great for both the parties. Upon forming an alliance your network multiplies manifold and suitable actions can be given out upon the occurrence of a particular event. The collective data of your firm grows and all the employees are benefiting from the same and more so you are the greatest beneficiary of this scenario.
