KMWorld quotes Tom Woodman, enterprise applications manager at KUKA Systems on use of Traction® TeamPage to track, manage and report on issues across project groups. Woodman says: “TeamPage helped us document what wasn’t working, collaborate around potential solutions and turn on a dime to fix them. Then, it helped us spread the word about those improvements to the rest of the company very quickly. As a byproduct, we are also able to meet compliance requirements, because auditors can easily review the issues and determine if there are any that would need further scrutiny from a financial reporting point of view.” » Read More
