IBM Lotus Quickr is collaborative software used by teams of people to share content. Lotus Quickr works inside and outside firewalls.

Lotus Quickr can be described as three things:

1. Content stores or repositories - where you store your personal and team content
2. Team Collaboration - that let you store, organize, access, and share content and team projects
3. Connectors - that provide the end user interface to Lotus Quickr content

[edit] Key Components

Lotus Quickr has six main components: ^[1]

• Content libraries: organize and share content
• Lotus Quickr + ECM: extend enterprise content management investments
• Team places: create online places for projects or teams
• Connectors: work where you are without switching applications

Through entitlement options with IBM Lotus Connections, Lotus Quickr users can also access Lotus Connections Wikis and Files, at no additional charge. ^[2]

[edit] Product enhancements

Lotus Quickr connectors are like mini-applications or plug-ins that are snapped into desktop applications. The connectors offer the following features and benefits: People can continue to work in their familiar desktop applications. The connectors enable the easy movement of content from Lotus Notes, Lotus Sametime, Windows Explorer, Microsoft Office or Lotus Symphony into Quickr.

The software offers scalable content repositories, content management and team services such as wikis and team blogs

The Lotus Quickr content services include Web services and REST style services for accessing content, allowing developers to build their own extensions and connectors to Lotus Quickr. Initial support for the NSF and JCR backends was announced with future support coming for IBM DB2 Content Manager and IBM FileNet P8.

Free templates are available from SNAPPS, an Official IBM Design Partner, for Lotus Quickr to enable faster deployment.

Third party applications that enhance the user experience include an improved Online rich-text editor from Ephox which helps contributors create compelling content quickly in Team places, the wiki and blog components.
