AppGap Analyst Bill Ives reviews Traction TeamPage Release 4.2 new capabilities, focusing on the Developer Release preview of Traction's Google Web Toolkit (GWT) based Proteus interface. Traction Software President Greg Lloyd demonstrated Proteus using Traction's production TeamPage server and content. Bill includes screen shots of Proteus Feed views that make it easy to scan and navigate status, new content, edits, tag and moderation actions by space or person - including aggregate roll-up views. Proteus' use of GWT technology makes updates and navigation speedy using automatically compiled web-browser optimized updates that are delivered incrementally. This makes navigation, inline editing and animation effects fast, simple and attractive as well as extensible and developer friendly. Bill concludes: "I think these are all very smart moves and makes Traction more attractive to large enterprise. There is the greater flexibility of interface through Google Web Toolkit, more robust search through Attivio, and heavy duty data management through Oracle. I am looking forward to seeing what they do next." » Read the Full Story
