ORLANDO, Florida - January 20, 2009 - Ephox, the leading provider of online authoring software, today announced the release of a new integration of its rich text editor into IBM's Lotus Quickr. The software is being introduced at this year's Lotusphere conference in Orlando.
Lotus Quickr is team collaboration software that helps enterprises share content, collaborate and work faster online. It goes beyond traditional document sharing by adding web-based collaboration with wikis, blogs and team web pages.
The migration of business users to online collaboration requires an online content authoring experience that is as easy as editing traditional documents. EditLive! addresses this need with a Word-like authoring experience. Italso offers powerful capabilities for image editing, track changes, table editing and accessibility checking.
"EditLive! is a great fit with Lotus Quickr because it makes it even easier to collaborate on rich web content," said Jelan Heidelberg, IBM offering manager, Lotus team collaboration and document services. "The powerful, intuitive capabilities of EditLive! will enable business users to leverage the Web 2.0 capabilities of Quickr, such as wikis and blogs. In addition, Quickr customers often ask for the ability to paste content from Microsoft Word documents into Quickr pages. EditLive! provides that capability. For those with both Quickr and IBM Lotus Web Content Management deployments, Ephox will provide integrated functionality enabling the use of Quickr assets within IBM Web Content Management."
EditLive! integrations for the WebSphere Portal and the Lotus Domino versions of Quickr are available now. The integration for the Quickr Domino platform was co-developed by the PSC Group, a leading Lotus consulting firm and 2009 Lotus Award winner.
"One of the weaknesses of all standard content management platforms is that the content editor is too basic," said John Head, director of enterprise collaboration, PSC Group, LLC. "Users are used to rich editors like Microsoft Word or Lotus Symphony. EditLive! is the best online content editor available for any platform and provides a rich experience for Lotus Quickr and WebSphere Portal users."
