IBM Lotus Quickr

When it comes to IT development, there are a couple of “truths” that prevail.  The first is make vs. buy.  If you can buy what you need, don’t do your own development.  The second is if this is not your area of expertise, get help from an expert.  In either case, by doing so you will save you time and money in the long run.   A good example of this would be with the Web 2.0 technologies that are moving us beyond e-mail and into the world of true collaboration.  The goal is to bring all participants in the business process together in a “single” virtual place with the information they need at their fingertips. 

To assist in meeting this expectation, IBM created Notes Quickr as a component of the larger IBM Lotus collaboration strategy, Quickr 8.0 is part of the IBM Lotus CEO Community Collaboration Bundle, which provides the richest collaboration solution at the best value. Its components are built on open standards and are readily extensible.  The flexible bundle, which also includes Lotus Connections, and Lotus Sametime, is designed to integrate into your current environment, run on multiple server operating systems, and work with multiple releases of desktop software.

Taking Quickr Functionality to the Next Level

Quickr is more than just an upgrade to QuickPlace – it is a whole new way to save time as you go about your daily business.  For those who work on-line but have never had the virtual meeting experience, now is the time to explore the possibilities.   Consider these two examples:

• Standardization: Through the use of frameworks and templates, users can create Quickr workplaces with just a click-of-the-button.  For example, a project manager can set up a project team workplace with all of the appropriate forms and other project management tools already in place.  Doing so not only saves time but ensures that all projects will have the same structure and therefore the same level of quality.

• Interoperability:  The more information that can be “delivered” to the team workplace, the more time that can be spent on the actual tasks at hand.  The greater the integration with business applications and other information both inside and outside the organization, the greater the productivity and quality of the outcome.
