Traction Software to participate in Information Sharing and Homeland Security Expo

Providence, Rhode Island (August 12, 2002) - Traction® Software, Inc., the leading provider of Enterprise Weblog solutions, will participate in the upcoming Information Sharing and Homeland Security Expo to be held in Philadelphia, PA, August 19-21, 2002.

"Information must be fully shared so we can follow every lead to find the one that may prevent tragedy," said President George W. Bush in a June 6, 2002 National Address. The need to share information between intelligence, law enforcement, government and first responders is the theme of this event.

"Program teams, inter-agency groups, task forces and field office teams can easily and quickly deploy Traction to enhance their information sharing process," said Tim Simonson, CEO of Traction Software. "Email and web-browsers are the two common information sharing and information access tools used today. Traction leverages the use of these pervasive tools to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of information sharing, between and among the teams tasked with protecting our homeland."
