I've noted that there seems to be some kind of support for synchronising the calendar in sugarcrm with outlook, but for me, being the manager of IT for a company where we try to use as much open source products as possible, that's not as useful as support for other synchronization frameworks would be.

Are there any plans on implementing support for synchronization with for example Kontact (in KDE) or Evolution (in Gnome)?

Perhaps there have been some thoughts on making sugar share contacts and calendar with some major groupware server, such as Kolab?
