Unlike CiviCRM, which is targeted to nonprofits, SugarCRM is a system targeted toward sales in for-profit companies. It also gets kudos from NTEN’s satisfaction survey (it came in third, after CiviCRM and Salesforce.) It has three versions: Enterprise, Professional, and Community Edition. 2 admin 04.20.08

NTEN is trying to get a handle on all of this, and find out what people use, and how much they like what they use. It’s such an interesting space, and there are some really intriguing things happening with software in that space. I can’t wait to get my grubby little fingers on the data on CiviCRM and Salesforce.

Ive been using CMSs for a while now and Im really involved with wordpress.

It will probably take you less time than a generic HTML site will. { at 7:34 pm Hi there, nice blog.

They are going to release an open source version later this year, which is wonderful, but I also would have had to pony up another $149 for a year of a Pro account, and that seemed excessive, since I could just as easily set up a Wordpress blog on the host I’m already paying for.
