With IBM Lotus Quickr connectors, you can make it easy for users to work with your enterprise content management (ECM) system directly from the desktop applications they use most — productivity suites, mail clients, and instant-messaging clients. Quickr 8.1.1 introduces significant new capabilities for integration between Quickr and ECM systems, including IBM FileNet P8 Content Manager and IBM Content Manager. This integration provides complete, end-to-end collaboration and content management when your administrators update the clients on users’ desktops with the version 8.1.1 connectors.

If you’re an IT decision maker evaluating ECM or collaboration offerings, or you’re involved in managing and deploying ECM projects, come along on a tour of the Quickr integration capabilities. You’ll see some of the business cases driving this integration and learn where to find all the bits and bytes needed to get your integrated content management solution up and running.

I’ll discuss Quickr and ECM integration in two broad categories — the integration between Quickr connectors and ECM systems, and the ECM integration available in the Quickr Web user interface (UI). As I explore these integration points, you’ll gain perspective on Quickr and ECM integration from the point of view of place members (working with the content), administrators (enabling and configuring integration), and developers who want to build additional Quickr clients or servers (understanding the underlying architecture).
