Lotus Quickr is a network application, specifically a collaboration. Collaboration refers to efforts by two or more entities that work together to accomplish certain tasks. Lotus Quickr provides shared content with version control in the form of document directories with check-in and check-out features based on user privileges. It also provides online team spaces where members can share and collaborate by using team calendars, discussion forums, blogs, wikis, and other collaboration tools for managing products.

The Lotus Quickr software allows individuals to store personal and team content. It is possible that some individuals may make a mistake and mark their personal information as shared. This will allow other individuals of their team access to their personal information. Only authorized team members are able to access the information to collaborate. This could be a pro and a con. It is beneficial because the amount of people that have access to the information is controlled. A negative with the software is that there will be very innovative individuals that will not have access to the information. These individuals will not be able to contribute to a project if they have a great idea.
