21 June 2011 | Traction Software Introduces Social Enterprise Web
Discover, Discuss, Tag, Task, and Share Content stored in SharePoint, Documentum, File servers, Exchange, SQL Databases, and the Web Boston, Mass / Enterprise 2.
Using TeamPage Attivio Search Plus and TeamPage's Social Enterprise Web, external documents, pages, and transactions are now able to become social objects seamlessly integrated with Traction TeamPage's action tracking, search, collaboration and communication. Enterprise 2.
"A question found in a customer email stored in Exchange, an issue with a new drug application filed in Documentum, a comment on a legacy document stored in SharePoint, or the S: drive of a file server, can be discovered, discussed, tagged, and tasked for follow-up action in TeamPage, without converting, importing or moving data from its original source." said Greg Lloyd, President and Co-founder of Traction Software, Inc. "This approach is affordable, practical, easy to understand, use, deploy and maintain. We use indexing and search as the bridge to seamlessly connect TeamPage with what Geoffrey Moore and the AIIM task force call 'Systems of Record'."
TeamPage Attivio Search Plus leverages Attivio® Active Intelligence Engine™ (AIE) technology to provide unified information access (UIA) and deep content analysis that's simpler, more practical and more scalable than piecemeal, bottom-up integration or synchronization with each separate System of Record. With UIA and TeamPage's Social Web, Systems of Record look and act like they are part of the same TeamPage fabric used for collaboration, communication, and action tracking in the flow of daily work. It's as simple to understand and use as the Web – but also supports reliable permission-aware access and collaboration across all sources.
TeamPage Social Enterprise Web features enable TeamPage to share, tag, comment, task, index and search linked public Web or company intranet pages. TeamPage Web browser extensions, inline badges and comment widgets link external Web sources to TeamPage discussion and provide visual feedback (similar to the way Disqus adds shared comments to pages on the public Web). The content of the linked external page is automatically indexed and by included in Attivio search results, making it simple to find content referenced by a TeamPage external link. The TeamPage Badge includes a count of the number of internal TeamPage social actions linked to that external Web object, and offers one-click access to associated TeamPage actions, shown in context for easy review or followup action.
