| Traction Software solutions are based on the company's patented hypertext technology (US Patent 7,593,954). The core technology patent covers the fundamental indexing, cross-reference and navigational elements that combine to make the Traction platform capable of outperforming traditional file and folder systems. |
| Traction's server products are built on 100% Java technology. The server can be installed and configured in less than 1 hour. It runs on popular operating systems (Windows, Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X) and is a total solution, requiring no additional database or software licenses, and delivers a cross-platform Web browser interface. |
| Traction can be integrated into the enterprise environment with the use of the Solution Developer Kit (SDK), Customizable permission based RSS 2.0 and ATOM 0.3 feeds, XML-RPC, and the SOAP protocol. Traction has an optional pluggable authentication mechanism, to allow for easy integration with your Active Directory (including NTLM), LDAP, or other directory interface. Traction can authenticate against multiple directory systems simultaneously. Login authentication can be augmented by SSL/TLS and other security extensions. |
| Traction server products integrate with SMTP and POP/IMAP email standards, which enables users to leverage existing emails systems from both brand name vendors and commodity mail systems. Secure mail protocols supported by Traction include SMTPS, IMAPS, POP3S and STARTTLS. |
| In addition to Email (SMTP), RSS and ATOM, notification may be done with Jabber. The Traction platform can send Jabber IM in plain text or can encrypt with (TLS/SSL) to send over HTTPS. |
| Traction implements Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) for files and folders attached to posted Articles and within Project Share directories. This provides document management features such as check-out, locking, check-in, auto-versioning and (for MS IE and Office documents) over-the-web editing. |
| The look and feel of the Traction interface is selected based on your choice from our included skins or based on your own design. Traction can deliver different skins to different users (i.e. employees vs. customers) simultaneously. The tools for developing skins include CSS, our Skin Definition Language (SDL), or our Solution Developer Kit (SDK). Traction ships with at several SDL skins that have a CSS front end. |
| Traction has a built-in Search engine, but also has a specialized interface designed for third party search engines. This search skin is automatically delivered to known search engines. For permission based content, Traction presents an authentication challenge to the search engine. |
| Traction's optional Attivio® Search module extends Traction's permissioned search to over 370 document formats for files attached to TeamPage posts or stored in TeamPage web folders. Attivio's advanced linguistic analysis adds relevance ranking, automatic entity extraction, and keyword extraction to support interactive permission-filtered drill-down by keyword, person, company, location, file type, and other Traction data attributes. |
| Traction includes an optional Traction® Instant Publisher™(TIP) client to enhance the user experience. TIP makes it easy to drag and drop Windows desktop content, screenshots, and attachments. It also includes a plug-in for easy right click publishing from Internet Explorer which captures title, text, in-line images, and a source link. The TIP V2 client includes a publishing plug-in for NewsGator, the popular Microsoft Outlook based news reader. |
