News from SugarCRM! The company introduced Sugar Data Center Edition (DCE) – a new product line for SugarCRM partners and enterprise customers, a set of provisioning and monitoring tools enabling service providers and large organizations to deploy and manage multiple instances – distinct versions of SugarCRM – from a centralized management console. Sugar DCE will be delivered in two versions – one for partners and one for customers. Sugar DCE for Partners allows SugarCRM resellers and hosting providers to deliver SugarCRM in a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model to their customer base. Sugar DCE for Enterprises allows large companies to manage multiple versions of SugarCRM within their company from a single location.
Is SugarCRM already deployed in your company? Do you keep important customer information in a database or legacy CRM and want to migrate that data to your new SugarCRM account? Ever thought of integrating it, or your SalesForce.com customer list with that in your SugarCRM? Working with SugarCRM on a corporate level becomes more and more attractive.
SugarCRM launches new capabilities.
SugarCRM Inc., the world’s leading provider of commercial open source customer relationship management (CRM) software, announced the beta release of new reporting and wireless capabilities for SugarCRM. The new reporting and analytics engine provides SugarCRM users with improved insight into sales effectiveness and customer behavior. Revamped wireless capabilities deliver the feature-rich SugarCRM user experience on mobile phones, including support for the popular BlackBerry® and iPhone mobile handsets.
Support for iPhone, huh? I can see a tendency… Everything and everyone goes “i” and mobile. Which isn’t bad, actually. The new wireless features include:
- Improved User Interface provides navigation into edit, detail, and list views, as well as the ability to access employee directory, store preferences and view recent items.
- Rich HTML Client delivers rich presentation of SugarCRM data through a standard Web browser.
- Device Independent allows users to view SugarCRM data from any PDA or smart phone, including the BlackBerry and iPhone.
- New Search Capabilities allow users to find information quickly with the press of a few buttons.
Come to think of it, with SugarCRM going wireless, and with Apatar SugarCRM connector installed you can now have any of your database (SQL, Oracle) data up in SugarCRM and on your mobile device in practically no time. I love this integrated world!
