Custom Development 

Sugar is an excellent CRM suite in itself, with comprehensive functionality at a very competitive price.

Sugar is also open source, and so a truly exceptional choice.

As an open source product it can be customised to meet your unique requirements. At Accelerate4 we have the programming and consulting expertise to deliver robust customisations and extensions to tight deadlines.

You might just need to tweak a data entry form, or it may be essential that your CRM integrates with your communications or telephony software, email system or accounting applications. You might want reports to be delivered in a specific format.

We can find the appropriate extension, or augment Sugar in partnership with you to create a custom development to fit your precise needs.

Sample Customisation

Below follows a short whitepaper detailing how we integrated a CRM installation on Linux with a Microsoft Exchange deployment on the same LAN.

As calendar entries and activities are created in CRM the system automatically synchronises them via Microsoft Exchange thus populating both the users Outlook client and Mobile device calendar application. The same calendar entries are also sent to any invitees via the same mechanism.

The enhancement makes use of the OpenChange API ( http://www.openchange.org ) that provides an open source implementation of the MAPI protocol. The solution alleviated instances where users missed important reminders due to being away from their PC or not logged into CRM.
