Lotus Quickr software provides online team spaces where members can share and collaborate, and use team calendars, discussion forums, Web logs (blogs), wikis and other collaboration tools for managing projects and creating content. Now imagine a team in your organization that includes business partners. Or a customer account team. Team members can be anywhere in the world. And they can keep in contact and work together using the team services in Lotus Quickr software to quickly communicate project changes and address new requests. Or set up status meetings to keep everyone on track. Gain control of team content and information If you’re like most people, you use e-mail to share, create and manage content with your teams. Lotus Quickr software integrates with IBM Lotus Notes® e-mail software—so you can send links instead of large attachments. The links take recipients directly to content stored in Lotus Quickr software, because it integrates the mail client with your shared team places and content libraries. Now you can stop using e-mail to store important content. You can rest assured that the e-mail link your team members receive will take them to the most up- to-date ile. They can stay current with-out overloading your e-mail servers. And they can stop worrying about losing important information, because it’s all stored in the security rich, Lotus Quickr software system. Be more productive and work more effectively with colleagues Lotus Quickr software also enables you to access and manage content from other popular desktop applications. So you can work the way you usually do. All you have to do is use the connectors for IBM Lotus Sametime®, Microsoft® Office and Microsoft Windows® Internet Explorer software. The connectors are plug-ins that enable you to perform a variety of actions in these applications without forcing you to switch to Lotus Quickr software. Imagine initiating a Lotus Sametime chat and having access to your Lotus Quickr content library with all your iles readily available right in your Lotus Sametime software. You just drag and drop the ile directly into the chat window. Or if you’re using Microsoft PowerPoint software, you can save your presentation to the Lotus Quickr content library using the PowerPoint plug-in, and you can check in or check out a presentation, or approve or reject it. It’s a much more productive way to work. Get started easily with templates and the personal edition Lotus Quickr software makes it easy to get started right away. Just use the prebuilt templates that come with the software to help with speciic business needs. You can set up a team space, or a wiki or team blog—all without calling your IT department to do it for you. And if you need customized templates, you can contact an IBM Business Partner to help you build what you need. And Lotus customers who have active Lotus Notes maintenance agreements will receive the Lotus Quickr personal edition at no charge. This version will provide a subset of capabilities or basic personal document library services. With the personal edition, you will also receive all the connectors mentioned above—saving you time and making your work easier than ever.
