PROVIDENCE, RI, Nov 21 (MARKET WIRE) --
Traction(R) Software, the leading developer of enterprise 2.0 social
software for secure, scalable collaboration, today announced Live Blog
micro-messaging for TeamPage 4.0 along with an end-of-year promotion
featuring a 20% discount through the end of December. With Live Blog,
users can write brief notes from wherever they are and share them
instantly over Traction's award-winning TeamPage(TM) enterprise wiki
platform. TeamPage 4.0 is the first enterprise 2.0 suite to incorporate
micro-messaging technology that's been made popular by web services such
as Twitter and Pownce.
Traction's new Live Blog technology allows enterprise users to:
-- Share brief updates to stay in touch securely with customers and
colleagues anytime and from anywhere
-- Keep in touch with product, sales and support teams while getting work
done
-- Connect internal teams and development partners, suppliers and
customers working on projects that span the globe
-- Easily raise and discuss issues that need quick attention
-- Use separate Live Blogs to work with individual clients (like a law
firm) where privacy is a necessity
-- Leverage TeamPage's security, search, comment, social tagging and
notification features to power Live Blogs and flag issues for follow-up
action
Live Blog Technology for TeamPage 4.0
A Live Blog is an automatically updating browser window that can be shown
directly on a user's desktop or mobile device such as an iPhone. Users
type a brief note in the Live Blog window and everyone with access to that
Live Blog sees a new highlighted note in seconds. Live Blog notes are
stored in TeamPage's hypertext Journal so they can easily be tagged for
follow-up, discovered in a TeamPage search, or forwarded as an
automatically generated IM, email or RSS notification. Live Blogs become a
standard feature -- not an extra cost option -- for Traction Software's
secure, scalable enterprise class hypertext platform which now supports
Live Blogs, wiki's, social tagging, threaded inline comments, blogs,
social networking and RSS syndication.
2008 Year End Promotion
Traction Software is also announcing a 20% discount on new software
licenses or upgrade purchases made between November 17th and the end of
2008. This promotion offers an exceptionally affordable entry price of
$3,000 per year for a 25-user workgroup subscription with up to 10 active
Live Blog or general project spaces.
"With tight budgets and pressure to cut costs, businesses need to figure
out ways to save on travel and operating expenses while building stronger
internal, partner and customer relationships. Many Fortune 500 companies
are looking to consolidate and streamline distributed geographic
operations, replacing an incompatible hodge-podge of older generation
Lotus Notes and other products that are expensive to maintain and don't
work well inside or outside the firewall," said Greg Lloyd, president and
CEO of Traction Software. "New and existing customers are placing their
bets on Traction TeamPage as the ideal tool for better working
collaboration. Our year end promotion thanks existing customers, and
invites new customers to choose the Enterprise 2.0 solution that can
deliver a real competitive advantage while cutting costs."
Users can also start with a free TeamPage5 configuration -- including Live
Blog micro-messaging, five login accounts and free visitor access.
TeamPage5 can be downloaded free and installs easily, with no software
pre-requisites other than a base Windows, Solaris, Linux or Mac OS X
operating system.
