PROVIDENCE – For the fourth year in a row, Traction Software Inc. has been named to KMWorld Magazine’s list of 100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management.

The Providence-based company, founded in 1996, provides business and government organizations with wiki and blog software that allows groups and teams to communicate more effectively. Its TeamPage software creates a secure communications hub for business information and working communications, making it easier to collect organize, link and share sources of information in context over time.

The KMWorld award “is recognition that we’re constantly striving to provide the most usable, scalable and flexible blog and wiki solution to meet real enterprise needs,” said Greg Lloyd, president and founder of Traction Software.

“We consider customer requirements first when improving our award-winning solution, Traction TeamPage,” Lloyd added. “And being on this list affirms that we’re building solutions that matter.”

Since hitting the market in 2002, Traction’s TeamPage has become a leading hypertext editor among private enterprises, universities and many branches of the U.S. government. It is now used by 220 customers, including more than 15 Fortune 500 companies and more than 10 Global 100 companies.

“Traction Software continues to demonstrate leadership in delivering Enterprise 2.0 wiki and blog software that matches enterprise IT realities,” wrote Hugh McKellar, editor-in-chief of KMWorld Magazine, a unit of Information Today Inc., and the leading publication serving the knowledge, document and content management systems market. Traction’s “unique social tagging model, discussion threading technology, deep audit trail and permission filtering capabilities demonstrate a clear focus on meeting customer requirements in the real world,” McKellar added.

Inclusion on this year’s KMWorld 100 list is the latest in a series of industry honors for the company. Traction TeamPage also was named InfoWorld Magazine’s 2007 Enterprise Wiki of the Year, and was ranked among the RedHerring 100 and eContent 100.
