What’s more, Sugar Mobile provides anytime, anywhere access for our customers without increasing the cost of their CRM initiative.”

With Sugar Mobile for iPhone, Sugar users out in the field have the edge they need to quickly respond to customer inquiries and beat the competition. In addition, Sugar Mobile for iPhone is easily customized using the SugarCRM Mobile Studio administration panel. Administrators can quickly create mobile-specific fields, limit which fields are seen in the iPhone application, or create entirely new user screens for use by mobile employees.

“Smart phones have become the standard for connecting with your customers at any time, anywhere. Sugar Mobile is the only CRM solution that delivers the ease of use of Sugar 6 on the most commonly used mobile platforms,” said Clint Oram, co-founder and vice president of products at SugarCRM. “SugarCRM is laser focused on delivering the most intuitive, flexible and open CRM solutions available today.”

The latest edition of Sugar 6 also includes 13 new languages fully supported by SugarCRM.
