Tracem is a collaborative solution for teamwork. Where many solutions point to task distribution and project management or other raw data, Tracim aims at information, its exchange, its dissemination.
It is very valuable for R&D teams, associations, remote collaboration, among others. What counts in a team or in a collaboration in a broad sense is, above all, that the information circulates between the different areas and in which everyone can find the information.
About Tracim
The use of Tracim It is not exclusive to large organizations or projects, quite the opposite. It is an excellent companion focus software: since with small groups or large organizations, information management is organized and delegated to Tracim.
Tracim can be compared or considered as an alternative to:
- Microsoft SharePoint, but free.
- WYSIWYG wiki ( What you see is what you get - in other words, a wiki, which is the rich text editor) with supplement discussions and media management Plug and Play (integrated drag and drop images, management and version of any file) with native preview of desktop files.
- Simplified electronic document management (EDM), thanks to automatic version management, the ability to comment and give the status of documents.
- a private discussion forum with email notifications and responses.
- a productivity tool like basecamp without task management.
- a data management tool like Owncloud / Nextcloud, but with targeted information and not data.
- a mailing list.
- etcetera
At Tracim, all content is automatically logged, employees can comment, update status, etc.
In a single screen, you can find files, documentation pages, discussion and more. Tracim encourages the management of the natural context.
Although everyone can use it, Tracim targets some clearly identified user typologies.
To associations and their members.
Tracem allows members of an association's office to centralize information, be it files, procedures, discussions, reports etc.
It will also disseminate information, documents and files to members (or members). For example, after an event, each member will be able to share all their photos with other members and retrieve all photos.
To communities and municipal teams.
Tracim allows the municipal team to distribute documents and operational notes, as well as minutes of meetings or events.
Tracim also allows you to start and follow discussion topics, share them and write them all.
In this context, collaboration is often based on the use of additional tools to share information such as Google Docs and Dropbox, for example or by less suitable tools (I think in particular email).
It can also be the means of communication and exchange with the associations of the municipality. Once again, the central look, with the community colors (and URL), allows for sustainable collaboration.
Professional teams and collaboration between teams.
Tracem proposes to centralize this information within a single, historical tool whose management of access rights is simplified.
Tracim will collaborate between the teams "Materializing" the place of these exchanges, where until now, no tool seriously addressed the need (except email, with flaws and qualities, which everyone knows).
This tool will also have the advantage of being accessible locally and remotely or even mobile through the use of a mobile phone or tablet.
