The Salesforce integration facilitates effortless management of vendor relationships for Traction users by enabling a smooth exchange of customer data between Salesforce and Traction. The Microsoft Graph integration transforms how enterprises evaluate vendors and manage partnerships by establishing direct connectivity from all Outlook activity to the Traction platform and vendor profiles. This powerful integration allows for seamless workstreams, breaking down innovation silos and providing a central source of truth.

The CrunchBase and Owler integrations represent a significant leap forward in business intelligence. They enrich the Traction database of emerging technologies with comprehensive, vetted background information on companies and real-time competitor insights. These integrations save hundreds of hours of background research, enabling data-driven strategic decisions.

What sets Traction's platform apart is its built-in API layer. Enterprise customers can leverage the Traction API to deliver or sync any data they require between Traction, their internal systems, and other platforms, offering unparalleled flexibility and control.

Moreover, the Traction platform now supports all forms of Single Sign-On (SSO), including SAML and OpenID, as well as all enterprise-grade identity providers such as Okta, Azure, Google, PingFederate, and more. This enhancement provides a secure and streamlined user experience, allowing enterprise users to log into Traction with their existing enterprise email.

With these integrations, Traction Technology empowers businesses to harness the power of integration, transforming how they operate and make strategic decisions.
