SugarCRM 'Express'

[Davies]

Apologies in advance if this has been brought up before.

Firstly, congrats on a great product - some nice features and a superb interface. We are a new small company who are currently using the OS version as a stepping stone between nothing and eventually growing into the Pro version.

I just wondered whether you guys had considered an Express version at a price between zero and the Pro version? Say, the OS version but with support.

I'm sure there are many SMB organisations out there who are in a similar situation - can afford something but not the $275 per year. Many of the larger companies such as IBM have produced commercially viable products for this market sector - how about you guys?

pretty please?!!

Check out the Sugar Network - it is OS with support and the Office link tools for $119 per user per annum.

Hey you are in luck they allready have Sugar Network. You can find out more about it here. The program is designed for opensource users but you do get some benifits in addition to support for example outlook plugins. Check it out.

d'oh, guess I should read the entire website, instead of just the products section!

thanks

SugarNetwork is no doubts useful. But nothing can beat the value a consultant can bring to the organisation implementaing a CRM (even if it is Sugar Open Source).

We provide a implementation package for SugarCRM Open Source consisting of "Gap Analysis consulting", Unlimited studio based customisation, Hosting for unlimited users on our Shared hosting server with H-Sphere CP, integration of all Sugar Add-Ons (whether paid or free), unlimited support via email + chat + telephone. All this for only US$1275 per year. No catch / fine print here.

We also have our own in-house PHP+MySQL programmers to provide programing support to our implementation clients and Linux web administrators to provide independent VPS hosted Sugar OS accounts to our clients.

This low / affordable price has become possible as Sugar is becoming more and more user friendly. Many of our clients who had no prior exposure to working with Open Source Applications, are able to go live and manage their Sugar OS accounts on their own after our brief training.

I look forward to the day when Sugar becomes as user friendly as Microsoft Outlook is.
