SuiteCRM – A New Era in CRM
SuiteCRM is an open source Customer Relationship Management application for servers. Open source CRM is often used as an alternative to proprietary CRM software from major corporations such as HubSpot, Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics CRM applications. SuiteCRM is a software fork of the popular customer relationship management (CRM) system from SugarCRM. The SuiteCRM project started when SugarCRM decided to stop development of its open-source version.
SuiteCRM is a greatly extended version of SugarCRM which also contains many additional security fixes that are not available in SugarCRM. It was originally released on October 21, 2013 as version 7.0, and provides upgrade paths for existing SugarCRM users.
Having more than a list of 40 Modules such as Accounts Module, Bugs Module, Calendar Module, Calls Module, Campaigns Module, Cases Module, Contacts Module, Contracts Module, Documents Module, Email Module, Events Module, Invoices Module, Knowledge Base Module, Leads Module, Meetings Module, Notes Module, Opportunities Module, etc, SuiteCRM is packed with features and the flexibility and robustness makes it perfect for enterprises.
SuiteCRM has been downloaded more than 800,000 times since the original release. A community of nearly 90,000 developers and collaborators has joined the project. It has been adopted by NHS (National Health Service) England’s Code4Health programme which seeks to foster open source in the NHS in England. In addition to the new modules, extensive bug fixes and many enhancements to the core functionality have been made. There have been over fifty updates since the original project was released. A six-month release cycle is maintained with bug fix and security releases being made available between major releases.
Winning the BOSSIE Award 2015 and BOSSIE Award 2016 for the world’s best Open Source CRM, SuiteCRM has inspired the community and emerged as a new leader in the Open source CRM.
