Blogs, wikis, online forums – the openness of the Web has revolutionized the way people share and discuss information. Management gurus say these innovations can benefit businesses as well, but companies want to make sure those discussions remain internal and secure – which is where Providence-based Traction Software’s TeamPage software comes in.

Jordan Frank, Traction’s vice president of marketing and business development, will discuss TeamPage at tonight’s Providence Geeks dinner, which will be held from 5:30 to 9 p.m. at AS220, 115 Empire St. in Providence. Frank talked with Providence Business News recently about how TeamPage works and how businesses are using it.
