SUGAR for university. What add-ons should I use?

[tiger0516]

Hi there,

I am currently evaluating SugarCRM for us (a university library). Can anybody advise me what SugarCRM add-ons I should use?

Thanks a lot & Have a good weekend,

What are you trying to accomplish?

If we have some idea of what your goals are, we might be able to make some suggestions. There are dozens of add-ons available on www.sugarforge.org and www.sugarexchange.com which may often times turn out to be completely unnecessary for your needs.

As Angel said, what add-ons you need really depends on what your objectives are. There are a number of core and interesting projects which most businesses could use:

ZuckerReports - reporting module
ProcessManager - workflow
OpenSales - products, quotes
Outlook plugins - sync with outlook ... IMHO the sooner folk realise what an albatross outlook is an drop it for a cleaner email client - the better

Sorry, was in danger of going off on a rant.

Give us a thumbnail of what you seek to use sugar for ... and then we can assist better
