Customer relations management is a serious aspect of any business now-a-days. And, in order to handle it properly businesses need robust system such as SugarCRM. SugarCRM is a software or web application manufactured by its namesake company. sugarCRM development services can be provided using this software which is available in three editions:

Sugar Community Edition (previously known as Sugar Open Source)
Sugar Professional
Sugar Enterprise
SugarCRM customization can be undertaken by using any of these three editions as the code tree for each product remains the same. Also, Sugar Community Edition contains about 85% of functionality contained in Sugar Professional and Sugar Enterprise. These products were originally produced on the LAMP stack of Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP. They can also run on other platforms that can deliver PHP such as Windows, Solaris and Mac OS X.
