CRM Tips
In this blog, I will try to show you several more reasons for sticking with SugarCRM CE (Community Edition) and not upgrading to SugarCRM Professional Edition. Click here to view a detailed Feature Comparison Chart.
Reason A: Workflow would not help your User Adoption
The Workflow Module in SugarCRM Professional is absolutely powerful. It allows you to automatically send Email alerts and create automated tasks. It allows you to even create and update records and thus update your dashboards automatically.
Reason B: Microsoft Integration is meaningless to you
The Microsoft Plugins for SugarCRM Pro are extremely powerful. They allow for merging record data into documents. But the most powerful plugin is the Outlook plugin. This amazing and simple tool allows users to synchronize their contacts and tasks between Sugar and Outlook. This can be done automatically or manually. Users are also able to archive outbound as well as inbound email to contact records.
Reason C: Free Mobile Integration means nothing to you
SugarCRM Professional provides the best Mobile CRM options on the market. Regardless of the mobile device, users are able to access SugarCRM! If this isn’t important for your sales staff, then you are an exception.
