| Description |
IBM Lotus Quickr 8.1 helps people organize and share everyday business content, making it easier to find the latest information and ensuring that everyone is working from the same version of content. It enables effective communication and discussion among teams of people who might be dispersed across different parts of the organization, separated geographically, or even external to the organization.
Lotus Quickr helps reduce e-mail glut both for individuals and for organizations. It provides an easy-to-use alternative for sharing information and collaborative authoring, replacing the current practice of sending large attachments, and using "reply to all." The new personal file sharing and the Lotus Notes 8.0.1 and Microsoft Outlook connectors in Lotus Quickr 8.1 make it simple for end users to move their content from e-mail attachments into their personal Quickr place.
With Lotus Quickr, organizations can leverage their investment in desktop software, including Lotus Notes, Lotus Sametime®, Microsoft Office, and Windows® Explorer. The new connectors, available with Lotus Quickr 8.1, extend the Lotus Quickr experience to users of Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Symphony. Through the connectors, employees with different work styles and preferences can collaborative effectively right from within the tools that they use every day. In addition, organizations with a heterogeneous desktop environment can collaborate effectively via Lotus Quickr.
Lotus Quickr 8.1 provides a simplified, streamlined user experience, making it easy to learn without an extensive investment in end-user training. Early users of Lotus Quickr in any end-user community can easily encourage others to participate and get them started with a few basic instructions, thus helping to overcome the adoption gap that makes other team collaboration solutions ineffective.
Lotus Quickr is designed to be self-service and user driven but backed by IT. Lotus Quickr 8.1 provides enhanced administrative capabilities to help the IT organization provide a manageable, responsive Lotus Quickr environment. Administrators can set policies limiting the size of places and identifying inactive places that are candidates for archiving. Reporting is available to help the IT staff monitor the Lotus Quickr environment and make appropriate adjustments. In addition, Lotus Quickr 8.1 provides streamlined membership management, giving place owners a single view of all members and their authority levels, and a single panel for adding new members.
Lotus Quickr Entry provides a single personal workspace for each user. Within that workspace, each user can perform content management functions (such as check-in and check-out) and provide other users with links to shared content. The user can hide designated content to make it private. Lotus Quickr Entry users can access content via the Lotus Quickr connectors or by using a Web browser. When the full capability of Lotus Quickr Standard is needed, users can purchase Lotus Quickr Standard and seamlessly move their content to Lotus Quickr Standard.
IPLA and Subscription and Support considerations
IPLA licenses can be transferred from one machine to another within, but not limited to an enterprise. You may aggregate the capacity for all the processors the product is operated on to achieve a more economic price. This will result in a single Proof of Entitlement (PoE). It is your responsibility to manage the distribution of Value Units within the limits of the entitlement of the product license.
Subscription and Support must cover the same capacity as the product license entitlement.
Subscription and Support will be available in the country in which the agreement is made.

Charge metrics definitions
Value Unit
A Value Unit is a pricing charge metric for program license entitlements which is based upon the quantity of a specific designated measurement used for a given program. Each program has a designated measurement. The most commonly used designated measurement is a processor core. However, for select programs, there are other designated measurements such as users or resources which may include servers, client devices, and messages. The number of Value Unit entitlements required for a program depends on how the program is deployed in your environment and must be obtained from a Value Unit table. You must obtain a Proof of Entitlement (PoE) for the calculated number of Value Unit entitlements for your implementation. The Value Unit entitlements are specific to a program and may not be exchanged, interchanged, or aggregated with Value Unit entitlements of another program.
Processor (Value Unit)
A processor core is a functional unit within a computing device that interprets and executes instructions. A processor core consists of at least an instruction control unit and one or more arithmetic or logic unit. With multicore technology, each core is considered a processor. Not all processor cores require the same number of Processor Value Unit entitlements. To calculate the number of Processor Value Unit entitlements required, refer to the Processor Value Unit table on the following Web site
With full capacity licensing, a PoE must be acquired for the appropriate number of Processor Value Units based on all activated processor cores available for use on the server.
Authorized user
An authorized user is one and only one individual (named or unnamed) within or outside your enterprise. A PoE must be obtained for each individual user accessing the program in any manner. A program licensed under an authorized user PoE may be installed on a single computer or server, and accessed by multiple users, provided that a PoE has been obtained for each individual user accessing the program either directly or indirectly (via a multiplexing program, device, or application server) through any means on behalf of the user.

| IBM Electronic Services |
IBM has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to help you achieve higher system availability. Electronic Services is a Web-enabled solution that offers an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support available for IBM servers. These services are designed to provide the opportunity for greater system availability with faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. Electronic Services comprises two separate, but complementary, elements: Electronic Services news page and Electronic Services Agent.
The Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services and support. The news page enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems.
The Electronic Service Agent is no-additional-charge software that resides on your server. It
monitors events and transmits system inventory information to IBM on a periodic, client-defined
timetable. The Electronic Service Agent automatically reports hardware problems to IBM. Early
knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to deliver proactive service that may result in
higher system availability and performance. In addition, information collected through the Service
Agent is made available to IBM service support representatives when they help answer your questions
or diagnose problems. Installation and use of IBM Electronic Service Agent for problem reporting
enables IBM to provide better support and service for your IBM server.
