From NetworkWorld: IBM unveils Quickr tools to stave off SharePoint
Interesting that we have another migration tool being announced to move *from* Microsoft *to* Lotus...
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. It also is a component of IBM's unified communications stack that revolves around Domino, Sametime and Connections, a set of social networking tools.
Something I found interesting is that this tool is based on technology from Casahl, a group that's been known more for their IBM to Microsoft migration tools. It's encouraging to see companies see business opportunities to bring data back into Lotus.
