IBM Friday released a data migration tool that is a critical component in providing its Notes/Domino install base an alternative to moving to Microsoft's SharePoint Server.
IBM Lotus Quickr Content Integrator provides wizards and templates for moving content in mass to Quickr from SharePoint sites, Microsoft Exchange folders, IBM Lotus Domino Document Manager libraries and IBM Lotus Domino team room applications.
The Content Integrator also supports co-existence of data on multiple platforms during an elongated migration, including synchronization capabilities.
Quickr is a content management system that includes team workspaces and runs on either Windows, Linux or Unix. (Compare Collaboration products.) It also is a component of IBM's unified communications stack that revolves around Domino, Sametime and Connections, a set of social networking tools. (Compare Unified Communications products.)
"Quickr and Integrator help with our story around more open and flexible platforms," says David Kajmo, senior product manager for Lotus Quickr.
IBM also announced Friday that the Quickr 8.1 upgrade is now available. There are two versions, Quickr Domino, which is based on NSF, and Quickr WebSphere Portal, which is a J2EE application.
Quickr has emerged as a key weapon for IBM in the battle with Microsoft over unified communications because SharePoint is helping pull end users to other Microsoft software.
SharePoint is closely integrated with Microsoft's unified communications platform, its Exchange e-mail server, Live Communications Server, Office and Office applications including back-end file sharing repositories for Excel, Word and PowerPoint.
SharePoint has been on a rocket ride, producing more than $1 billion in revenue for Microsoft. Late last year, an IDC survey of 300 users found 61% were deploying SharePoint enterprise-wide, and that 28% of those using SharePoint in departments now are expected to expand usage to the enterprise within the next 12 months.
IBM is hoping to choke off that uptake. The Content Integrator is based on software from Casahl Technology, which for years has offered elegant migration tools to move users between the Lotus and Microsoft platforms.
