The final area to cover is around Enterprise Content Management (ECM) integration. The Lotus Quickr product has been broadening these services for several releases now. The Lotus Quickr 8.5 release grows these capabilities to a whole new level. Now ECMcontent can be made available in both the Lotus Domino and WebSphere Portal deployment platforms. The integration itself has deepened significantly with this latest release, particularly in the following areas:

These integration capabilities require Lotus Quickr integration code to be separately installed on the backend ECM system.

Having the ability to connect Lotus Quickr with ECM systems opens a wide range of possibilities. Now collaborative content can be generated quickly within Lotus Quickr and once finalized, it can be published for long term retention and auditability within the ECM system.

Additional information on the ECM integration is available in Chapter 12, Integrating IBM Lotus Quickr with other IBM Products .
