Providence, R.I. August 20, 2005—Traction Software, Inc., the leader in Enterprise Blog software, today announced that Traction® TeamPage™ and Communicator™ products have been recognized by KMWorld Magazine, for the second year in a row, as “Trend Setting Products for 2005.” KM World says TeamPage is “a robust enterprise blogging software that encompasses collaboration, document management, and KM.”

From the September 2005 issue of KM World, the editorial staff said, “The common thread running through all the products listed below is the unique value—and potential value—they offer the organization, its workers and their various constituencies…And, in many cases, it is precisely the vision of customers who implemented the products that qualifies them as trend- setting by opening markets not originally considered by the vendor.”

Traction’s TeamPage is the leading software application in the growing use of Enterprise Blogs. Enterprise Blogs enable corporations and government agencies to manage large and disparate groups of employees, customers, suppliers, partners and service providers in a common content and information management system. TeamPage organizes and manages content and information to improve productivity and communication. Traction Software’s customers use TeamPage for competitive intelligence, corporate communications and program management, such as CRM, product development and partner relations.

Corporate Communication blogs include outward facing personal or group weblogs, which are used to talk publicly with everyone on the Internet. Competitive Intelligence and Program Management blogs contain news, analysis, plans, issues and exceptions that are far too sensitive to be made readable on the public internet without authenticated, encrypted access, which TeamPage provides.

“Traction TeamPage is about getting knowledge into the hands of all members of a team, both within and outside the firewall, in a way that brings together all the applicable content in one, easy to manage space," said Greg Lloyd, President and Co-Founder of Traction Software. “TeamPage was chosen for this award because KM World recognizes the unique power of an Enterprise Blog to make teams more effective and drive business forward.”

Jordan Frank, Traction’s Vice President of Marketing, is making presentations at the Info-X C2: Collaborate & Connect conference this week in New York and at KMWorld & Intranets 2005 on November 15-17 2005 in San Jose, California. At the KMWorld conference, he will speak on the Future of Content Management. Traction Software will also exhibit its technology at this show.
