New challenges - BIG Plans • More users • Network is growing • New services If you are the only department using CRM: • In-house collaboration suffers • Tickets get delayed • e-Mails “misplaced” • Service level - average August 2013
Open Source • No or less licensing costs (CRM per-user, VoIP per phone…) • Software phones can be used in peak periods • Security and integrity of personal data
SugarCRM CE (Open Source) PRO • Small initial costs for great out-of-the-box features • Modules that cover many CRM segments • Flexible upgrades and customization possibilities • Good support from the open-source community • Price per user is 0$ CONTRA • Lacks some advanced features found in other versions (Team work, Advanced workflow, Field Level Access, Mobile support) and some functional modules (Reports), meaning they need to be developed and implemented • No support from the authors of software.
