Martin Schneider, of SugarCRM, On the Open Cloud
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the big topics to be discussed at the upcoming Open Source Business
| Conference (OSBC), March 24th and 25th at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco,
| will be the future of open source. In preparation, OStatic is running a
| series of guest posts on this theme, featuring thought leaders from top open
| source projects. Last week, we checked in with Dries Buytaert, founder of the
| Drupal content management system, and co-founder of Acquia. This week, Martin
| Schneider, director of product marketing for SugarCRM, weighs in on the open
| cloud, and how SaaS, open source and dynamic platforms are converging. Here
| are his thoughts.

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.

| not happy, that’s for sure.

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.

,----[ Quote ]
| Few categories of open source software have seen so much solid teamwork and
| rapid development as customer relationship software (CRM) projects. As
| evidenced by huge proprietary players such as Salesforce.com, CRM implemented
| on the web as an on-demand tool for teams of co-workers also creates
| 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.
