NHS integrates Intranet 1.0 with Enterprise 2.0 to get Social with TeamPage 4.0

July 18, 2008 · · Posted by Jordan Frank

The original NHS Orkney Customer Story details how they used Traction for everything from wiki collaboration on policies and procedures to action tracking and even an internal blog to announce "stuff for sale." Since then, usage has only improved and Traction has also been deployed at the NHS Camden region. In June, David Rendall upgraded to the recently announced TeamPage 4.0 Release.
