Innovation is critical to compete in the 21st century. To help drive innovation, extending collaboration - outside the organization - is an imperative. Customers and partners are important sources of new business ideas. But organizations need the right technology to foster collaboration. Not proprietary solutions. Solutions that integrate with their current software and systems. Lotus software builds flexible, innovative technology that addresses these business-critical needs. Web 2.0-based Lotus Quickr software is designed to transform how teams share everyday business content and work together online. And it leverages many existing applications and content storage systems. 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.
