The Quickr Blog

One of the most popular uses of Lotus Quickr (and QuickPlace previously) has always been for project-focused places - collaboration teamspaces based around the lifecycle of a project.  The default place type within Quickr is a good starting point, and SNAPPS' free QProject template extends this significantly.

However, there is definitely a place for a commercial solution that goes beyond the limitations of these options, and extends Lotus Quickr further into the Gant-chart focused world of full-time project management.

The Trillog Group have firmly stepped into this breach with their ProjExec for Quickr product:

ProjExec for Quickr

Add Project Management 2.0 to YOUR collaboration environment

Quickr, the natural paradigm for team collaboration, teams up with ProjExec, the IBM Lotus award winning Project Management 2.0 solution, to add Web 2.0 project management components inside Quickr places. In effect, ProjExec for Quickr is the first project management solution to augment Quickr with the functional equivalent of Microsoft Project Server and SharePoint Services at a fraction of the cost. A solid alternative for IBM Lotus customers who need to execute collaborative projects quickly, easily and affordably while leveraging investments in Quickr and the IBM Lotus portfolio.

ProjExec offers complete enterprise project management capabilities for Quickr and includes a connector for Microsoft Project. With ProjExec for Quickr, project schedules are transformed into integrated project activities shared with the entire project team. ProjExec for Quickr manages the integration with connectors, visual editors and tools that allow project teams to interact collaboratively with Microsoft project schedules just as other connectors provide interaction with Microsoft Office and Symphony files. undefined

   * All the power of Microsoft Project Server and SharePoint
   * Less than one fifth the cost plus leverages investment in Quickr
   * Complete integration with Microsoft Project desktop, Primavera and most project management tools

As far as I'm aware, ProjExec 2.0 is the only 'Project Management 2.0' solution that integrates with Lotus Quickr and WebSphere Portal. It also integrates instant messaging and web conferencing using Sametime, Skype, Google Talk, AOL or Yahoo, as well as linking to social tools including IBM Lotus Connections, Linked In and Plaxo. Lastly, it works with most popular project management tools including Microsoft Project, Primavera, OpenProj and other Microsoft Project-compatible tools.
