Sugar CRM updated to 5.0
SugarCRM has just posted a much-anticipated, much-tested update to its CRM software. Already one of the leading CRM clients in the field, Sugar also has the honorable distinction of sporting the majestic and rare feather of open source in its illustrious and award-laden chapeau. Management for the masses, if you will. Sugar 5.0 includes improved security, the ability to easily create custom modules, an AJAX email client compatible with the POP3 protocol, and hot new dashboarding capabilities.
Following the old carpenter's adage of "measure twice, cut once," the Sugar CRM software was put through three beta cycles, and was tested over 30,000 times. In other words, if you think you've found a bug in the Sugar CRM software, it might be the one that splattered on your glasses as you cruised to work on your Vespa scooter.
SugarCRM is available as a free Community edition, as well as two commercial editions: Professional and Enterprise. Professional costs $275 per user per year; Enterprise costs $449. The Sugar website offers a wealth of demos, both hands-on and hands-off.

Um, I hate to sound like an idiot, but what does this do?
You went an entire blog bost throwing schnazzy words like, "AJAX OMG!" at us and never told us what it does.

CRM - Customer Relationship Management
It helps you monitor your customer contacts, leads, promotional mailings, appointments, sales calls, and many other sales/customer service functions.
SugarCRM is a great piece of software. It has a bit of a learning curve, but it's VERY powerful and there is a completely free open source version.
