Sugarcrm (Private Company) SugarCRM 1 SugarCRM SugarCRM Type Private Industry CRM Software Founded California 2004 Founder(s) John Roberts CEO, Clint Oram VP, Jacob Taylor CTO & VP Engineering Headquarters Cupertino, California Key people Larry Augustin (CEO 2009 - present) Products Sugar Community Edition, Sugar Professional, Sugar Corporate, Sugar Enterprise and Sugar Ultimate Employees 350+ Website http:/ / www. sugarcrm. com/ SugarCRM is a software company based in Cupertino, California. It produces the web application Sugar, also known as SugarCRM, which is a customer relationship management (CRM) system that is available in both open source and Commercial open source applications. Sugar's functionality includes sales-force automation, marketing campaigns, customer support, collaboration, Mobile CRM, Social CRM and reporting. The company operates a number of websites, including its commercial website Sugarcrm.com, a development website (SugarForge.org), Sugar Exchange (for third-party extensions), and user forums. History John Roberts originally came up with the idea for SugarCRM on a long, rainy mountain bike ride in December 2003. Roberts, Clint Oram and Jacob Taylor created the SugarCRM open source project in April 2004, and founded the company in June 2004. Roberts served as the CEO, Oram was the vice president, and Taylor was the CTO & vice president of engineering. SugarCRM was one of the first commercial open-source-based corporations to raise venture capital. In June 2004, Josh Stein of DFJ From left to right, Jacob Taylor, John Roberts and Clint Oram in 2004 invested $2M into the startup and became a board member. With the help of this investment, Sugar expanded quickly and by September 2004, potential users had downloaded 25,000 copies of the application, then named Sugar Open Source. In October 2004, the company was named "Project of the Month" on Sourceforge.[1] The popularity of the project allowed the company to raise $46 million of venture capital from Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Walden International, and New Enterprise Associates.[2] In November 2004, a fork of SugarCRM, vtiger CRM, was started, intended to be a fully open-source solution. The software's core development team is based in Bangalore, India. SugarCRM 2 In November 2005, the company SplendidCRM was formed, which produces software that was initially a clone of SugarCRM, but intended to run on the Microsoft ASP.NET framework. Like SugarCRM, SplendidCRM produces both open-source and commercial versions of its software. In 2007, SugarCRM launched SugarCon, a conference for Sugar users and developers, that has since become an annual conference, held in the San Francisco Bay Area.[3] By 2008, SugarCRM employed over 150 people.[4] In June 2008, co-founder Taylor left the company, during what technology website The Register called "a mysterious exodus of senior and experienced business staff" from SugarCRM.[5] Clint Oram replaced him as the CTO. In May 2009, co-founder and CEO Roberts left the company. He was replaced as CEO by SugarCRM board member Larry Augustin, who had previously founded and served as the CEO of VA Linux (now known as Geeknet).[5] In June 2010, Sugar launch Sugar 6, a major upgrade emphasizing ease of use and introducing a complete UI overhaul of Sugar Professional and Sugar Enterprise.[6] In early 2011, Sugar was selected as an IBM Global Alliance Partner for Cloud Services.[7] In February 2011, SugarCRM announced it turned cash flow positive for the first time in its history.[8] SugarCRM has remained cashflow positive since. At SugarCon 2011, SugarCRM also announced its first acquisition; iExtensions, the Market-Leading CRM for Lotus Notes.[9] In June 2011, SugarCRM continued building on the Sugar 6 theme by adding more global capabilities (25 languages), enhanced Mobile CRM (native application support for over 90% of the world's smartphones and tablets) and extensive Social CRM integrations (LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, InsideView, LotusLive, WebEx, GoToMeeting and Google Docs).[10] As part of this release, Sugar introduced two new editions; Sugar Corporate and Sugar Ultimate. eWeek said of Sugar 6 that SugarCRM gets it right.[11] SugarCRM scored another banner year in 2011, with record fourth quarter revenues (up 92 percent from Q4 2010) and annual revenue growth of 67%[12] At SugarCon 2012, SugarCRM announced the Sugar 6.5 release[13]. This new release offers customers an updated UI; more powerful search capabilities, an updated calendar and faster performance. The 6.5 release also introduces additional support for different IBM software and hardware platforms. Sugar 6.5 went GA in June 2012. In April 2012, SugarCRM completed a $33 million financing round[14] for further expansion into the enterprise. Customers can try Sugar Enterprise for free for 7 days.[15] Sugar Community Edition is available as a free download on sourceforge[16] or directly from Sugarforge, which has seen over 11,000,000 downloads.[17] Products Editions SugarCRM develops CRM software in five editions[18]: • Sugar Community Edition (previously known as Sugar Open Source) • Sugar Professional • Sugar Corporate • Sugar Enterprise • Sugar Ultimate Each product derives from the same code tree, with Sugar Community Edition containing roughly 85 percent of the functionality contained in Sugar Professional and Sugar Enterprise. The products originated on the LAMP stack of Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP, but also run on other platforms that can deliver PHP (such as Windows, Solaris and Mac OS X). SugarCRM can also use MS IIS as a web server, and MS SQL or Oracle as alternative databases. SugarCRM 3 SugarCRM makes Sugar Community Edition available free of charge, and sells annual subscriptions to other SugarCRM versions. Deployment options SugarCRM offers 4 different deployment options. Customers can deploy Sugar as a software as a service (SaaS) solution in the Sugar Cloud, as an on-premise solution behind their firewall, in the cloud of one of SugarCRM's partners [19] or in the public cloud, including Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, Windows Azure Services Platform, Rackspace Cloud, IBM SmartCloud Enterprise [20]. License SugarCRM initially licensed Sugar Open Source under the SugarCRM Public License (based on the Mozilla Public License and the Attribution Assurance License). While users could freely redistribute Sugar Open Source and the license allowed for the inspection and modification of the source code and for the creation of derived works, critics, including Dan Farber, editor in chief at CNET, expressed some concern over SugarCRM's use of the term "commercial open source" to describe its products.[21] On July 25, 2007, SugarCRM announced the adoption of the GNU General Public License (version 3) for Sugar Community Edition, the offering previously known as Sugar Open Source.[22] This license took effect with the release of Sugar Community Edition 5.0. On April 11, 2010, SugarCRM announced that starting with version 6.0.0, the Sugar Community Edition would be licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License version 3.[23] The charts module, customer portal, mobile support, some SOAP functions and most of the default theme templates were removed from the AGPLv3 licensed Sugar Community Edition 6.

    THE THREE OF COMPARISON OF OPEN SOURCE CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT (CRM) SOFTWARE Ayuditya Annisa Edmarani (1006822694) Desi Ratiwi (1006822744) Mochamad Luthfi Suladria (1006822952) Nikmatul Wachidah (1006822965) Putri Sidratul Muntaha (1006823002) March 2012 ABSTRACT Customer Relationship Management (CRM) softwares are very common in large companies. However, CRM softwares are not very common in small and medium company. Open source CRM softwares are often targeted to enterprises whose requirements are not covered by standard software. Similar circumstances apply to organizations that need continuous adaption of the software to changing processes and needs. Therefore a company have to start implementing Information Systems (IS) technology into their business operations in order to improve business values and gain more competitive advantage over rivals. CRM software has the potential to help improve the business value and competitive capabilities of the company. And in this paper the suitability of current open source CRM softwares for these enterprises will be examined. It provides sufficient information for a small or medium enterprise to choose a flexible and adaptable open source CRM software. Then selected open source CRM projects are reviewed and classified according to these criteria. The results are a criteria catalog and a classification of selected open source CRM softwares. Keywords: CRM, Open Source, SugarCRM, Vtiger, SplendidCRMSoftware I. INTRODUCTION In an era of financial crisis and expense reduction it is important that companies keep pace with changing technologies and markets, adopting strategies for tracking trends, but which are not expensive. Because the current economic crisis leads companies to adopt strategies in order to fight against the difficulties. Regarding the costs, the purchase of open source software is free and the hardware associated to the systems has lower costs.

It’s as potent a symbol as any of the late 1990s phe- nomenon that swept popular culture, the stock market, the en- trepreneurial set, and the economy at large. This is the story of two procrastinating graduate students who turned what was a part-time project into a major media company, its starry rise in fortunes, and its equally stunning fall from grace. Yahoo’s guide to the World Wide Web, a directory that simply catalogues Web sites and makes them easier to find, is the most used of its kind. More than 200 million people a month reportedly were clicking on it in late 2001, to find everything from current stock quotes and news to chat rooms about biochemical warfare and infertil- ity—and that audience gave Yahoo a reach greater than that of most major media networks. It was this reach—and the notion that in the future, every- one would be using the Internet for everything for which they had turned to television, radio, newspapers, and movies—that propelled Yahoo’s stock to such incredible heights that at its peak, Yahoo was worth more than traditional media companies like the Walt Disney Company and News Corporation—com- bined.
