Opening up Business Process Management
,----[ Quote ]
| It's always a good sign when more companies enter a sector, and generally an
| indication of healthy growth there. Colosa is also interesting from another
| point of view, since it has a development and support group in Bolivia, not a
| country that has figured much so far in free software. Given the huge
| potential for open source in South America, that, too, could be about to
| change.

SugarCRM wants to be the Linux of the CRM world
,----[ Quote ]
| While Mr Roberts credits Marc Benioff with educating the market about the
| benefits of software as a service, he says SugarCRM is winning business
| because there isn’t any customer lock-in as there is with Salesforce and its
| proprietary behavior. For example, application developers for the Salesforce
| Force.com platform have to use a programming language called Apex.

Sweet communications
,----[ Quote ]
| The question is not whether you should implement unified communications
| technologies when your company is in the open source community and full of
| employees fresh from college who would rather instant-message than make a
| phone call. The question is how, says Lila Tretikov, CIO at SugarCRM, an open
| source software company founded in 2004. The company ties multiple
| unified-communications packages into its own relationship management platform
| to enable effective communications among its workforce of 150 employees -- at
| least 25% of them remote -- and a development group in Shanghai, China, as
| well as customers and the extended open source community.

| Few categories of open source software have seen so much solid teamwork and

| substantial business efficiencies. If you have a business and haven't looked
| into some of the top open source CRM offerings lately, here's a look at what
| you can start doing.
