AC/OS: SugarCRM: I knew them when….

April 7th, 2005

Congrats to the folks at SugarCRM! They won the most promising startup award at the Open Source Business Conference this week. It could not have happened to a better group of people. I was able to work withClint Oram (one of their co-founders) and Tara Smith (their marketing guru) while working on SCALE this past year.

If you’re looking for an Open Source CRM product, give their product SugarSuite a look. I’ve been using it for about 2 months now.

By the way, Clint’s presentation is available here in pdf.
