In February 2009, IBM announced the withdrawal of Lotus Domino Document Manager (previously known as Domino.Doc).
As of May 12, 2009, the software will not be available for purchase; end of support will take effect on September 30, 2012.
Realizing the promise of team collaboration and content management
IBM is committed to helping you modernize your document management systems, and to helping you get more out of your document management investments. For many organizations, the additional team collaboration capabilities of Lotus Quickr complement and help expand the benefits of IBM content management.
Entitled Lotus Domino Document Manager customers will automatically receive equal entitlement to IBM Lotus Quickr. You have the option -- until September 2010 -- of converting this entitlement to one of our offerings that combines Lotus Quickr with the power of IBM Enterprise Content Management, either IBM Content Manager Collaboration Edition or IBM FileNet Content Manager Collaboration Edition.
You have the flexibility to get started with Lotus Quickr now while you plan your overall migration at your own pace.
The bottom line: If you want to start using Lotus Quickr, you don't need to do anything. Your transfer of entitlement to Lotus Quickr will be handled and processed automatically by IBM. If, on the other hand, you want to use one of the combined Lotus Quickr - ECM bundles, you have until September 2010 to make that decision and request an entitlement transfer.
Easing Migration
Later this year IBM currently plans to provide a basic, no-charge tool to help migrate from Lotus Domino Document Manager to Lotus Quickr. IBM is also establishing a community of expertise (including people, best practices wiki, a planning guide, and a resource guide) to provide you with advice and support. This web page will be updated as the community, tools, and resources become available.
Customers and IBM Business Partners have been looking to IBM for a smart and cost-effective way to modernize their document management infrastructure, in order to make their content more accessible, to leverage Web 2.0 and team collaboration, and to integrate social content sharing capabilities. The migration options and choices IBM is providing to Lotus Domino Document Manager customers provides the smartest and most attractive path to the future.
Please see the Withdrawal Announcement for more detailed information about the Lotus Domino Document Manager withdrawal and entitlements.
