Founded in 1996, Traction® Software, Inc. (formerly Twisted Systems, Inc.) set out to eliminate the frustrating and costly inefficiencies in team communications and information management by creating a revolutionary web-based end-user hypertext journaling system. Traction TeamPage was first released in 1999 and, after commerical launch in July 2002, is the industry's first and leading Enterprise Blog software. Traction recognized early on that blogging was more than an individual phenomenon and could be used as a strategic communications tool inside the enterprise. Combining elements of blogging and collaboration, Traction created blogging software to help project teams communicate with one another better.

Traction Software provides business and government organizations with Enterprise Weblog software that allows groups and teams to communicate more effectively. The software is deployed in leading enterprises, universities and many branches of the U.S. Government. Traction's easy to use TeamPage™ software creates a secure communications hub for business information and working communications that collects, organizes, links and shares sources of information in context over time. TeamPage is used for business applications ranging from product development and project management to marketing field communication, competitive intelligence, and sales. The company distributes its products directly and through global partners. Based in Providence, Rhode Island, Traction Software is a privately held corporation with financing from investors including In-Q-Tel and Slater Interactive.

For the second year in a row, Traction Software is named to the EContent Magazine list of companies that matter most in the digital content industry.  Such recent industry recognition confirms the strength of the Traction TeamPage platform and the impact it will have on the enterprise suite of tools for knowledge workers.
