Fellow Team System MVP, Chris Menegay, and the guys at Notion Solutions have been busy creating a great set of utilities for Team System. You can see from the line up below that Chris and his team have come up with solutions for many of the most frequently requested add-ons for Team System today.

Here’s the announce from Chris I received this morning.

Notion Tools for Team System v1.0 was finally released on February 20th.  We’re actively documenting requirements for v1.1, your ideas are welcome!  You can download the software from our website and follow the instructions to get it up and running with a trial key. In order to get it working, you do have to install the server software. While the server components make it harder to “try it out”, it was needed to facilitate some of the capabilities we implemented.  We do offer a quickstart consulting engagement to make the needed process changes and train your team up on the use of the tools.

Please review the tools and even order online.
