Sugar Open Source enables sales, marketing, and support organizations to
manage their customer
interactions more efficiently and profitably and is
intended for both large and small companies worldwide. Platform agnostic,
Sugar Open Source is the least complex, most portable, and most cost-efficient
customer relationship management (CRM) solution. Natively built on the LAMP
(Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) stack, Sugar Open Source can be deployed in
virtually any environment.
CRM is a mature and cost-effective endeavor, but traditional, proprietary
applications are still expensive to buy or rent. It's not because it's costly
to build great CRM applications, but because those who provide proprietary
CRM are required to market and sell them. When you build a commercial grade
CRM application based on the combined ideas and resources from CRM developers
across the globe, you simply produce a better, more revolutionary product
than any proprietary software or hosting company can think-up and build on
its own. We believe the SugarCRM open source business model is far more efficient
than the classic approach to building proprietary CRM software. We do not
believe in the notion of hiding access to code in order to lock-in customers.
