Title: SugarCRM
Post by: M3ta7h3ad on March 26, 2007, 19:23:19 PM
Anyone familiar with this?

Thinking of putting forward a proposal for my employers to use it as a CRM system.

Reading the documentation (christ theres a lot of it), it seems fairly straightforward. Anyone familiar with any hidden pitfalls with the platform?

Customer Relationships are bad enough without bunging a load of extra Management software in. Telephone answering systems already screw us up, we dont need more s**t thanks ;)

well we could carry on doing the current system where I have to ask your full details every time you call. Ask you what you had a problem with every time you call, and ask you to reiterate what my colleague told you every time you speak to me.

Or... we could get a system that allows us to make notes track support issues, and helps us to help you. What would you prefer?

I don;t know about SugarCRM but some of those online ticketing systems are very good.

I use http://www.cerberusweb.com/ which does everything I need in terms of support requests. I also use NetOffice for Project Management http://netoffice.sourceforge.net/modules/news/
