Easy to start and keep going
Easy to start and keep going Business value is not derived through technology but rather how precisely it is applied to the specific need Many teams tend to work in relatively similar manners Quickr offers a variety of business templates to accelerate the “time to value” of the solution Although similar, subtle differences may be needed Quickr supports “controlled” user creation and customization… without the need for programming Custom templates can be created and shared Once created or modified, templates can be used as a basis for new places
Lotus Quickr Places Favorites: the user can mark their favorite places to make it easier to find and navigate to them. My Places: where the user is listed as the owner Public Places: public access to all users of the system All: places the user has access to whether public or restricted
Many to choose from out-of-the-box Ships with over 25 Templates Portable, persistent and re-usable
And creating a place is as easy as 1 – 2 – 3 Pick your template Give it a name Go to the place…it’s ready for use
And customizing it is just as easy Modify membership to a place Add new components Customize the theme Modify visibility of particular pages and components Tailor individual components Add additional information contributed via RSS feeds and feed reader portlet Setting of Policy information on an application
Meets personal & team needs
Meets personal & team needs Much of collaboration is communication about Content Most team activities require the ability to manage and control documents and assorted electronic files Quickr offers basic content services which include check-in/out, versioning, access control, etc. And the content needs to be kept relative to the team collaboration activities Quickr’s integration with other Lotus solutions brings content to all of the collaboration offerings

And a place for personal content* Securely share documents with co-workers Store email attachments and send links instead
Engaging & interactive experience
Engaging & interactive experience To empower the broadest number of people, the system must be intuitive and inviting to use The user experience in many business applications, including ECM systems, are often specialized and in some cases complex Quickr’s intuitive interface offers a desktop experience that requires little or no formal training, allowing a more rapid and wider spread deployment The collection and serving up of information is rapidly changing and requires a service based architecture Quickr’s Web 2.0 architecture provides for the leveraging of some of the latest tools and techniques of information sharing (Wikis, Blogs, RSS feeds, etc.)
A lot to choose to engage your users Team Discussions / Forums Keep a journal or blog of your meetings or creating discussions on different topics effecting your team. WIKIs (Shared Editable Pages) A shared editing space that team members can use to create and manage content such as designs, presentations, or other group material. Team Calendar Manage a community view of important events and activities that effect your team. Lists Lists are simple “databases” of information such as tasks, vacation days, team members, … that can be used to manage information simply and quickly. RSS / ATOM Feeds Quickr provides the ability to integrate and render feeds from your favorite ATOM or RSS site as well as to produce a feed into your favorite feed reader.

Leverages enterprise investments
Leverages enterprise investments Quickr will bridge the gap between Collaboration and Enterprise Content Management Many companies already have one or more enterprise content management systems Connectors are being developed to allow the ECM content to be part of Quickr team places and collaboration activities Information may begin as team content and become relevant to the enterprise Quickr’s ECM integration will allow team content to be moved or migrated to ECM systems And content in the ECM system is often relevant to team activities Quickr will provide for “links” to ECM content that will behave in the same way as its team content, thereby enabling all of the Quickr features to be available to the ECM content
Leverage Quickr through Content Services Lotus Quickr Connectors are built upon a common remote service layer Connectors are unaware of the backend platform on which they operate Lotus Quickr Content Services REST and SOAP based interfaces are provided ECM Implementation Domino Implementation J2EE Implementation Interfaces are published (future) (Lotus Quickr 8.0) (Lotus Quickr 8.0) and 3rd parties are encouraged to integrate and extend Lotus Quickr using these services as both providers and consumers ECM Domino IBM JCR
