Jon Paris of System i Developer and an MC Press Online Editorial Review Board member notes that in my article, "Free CRM Solutions Can Brighten Up a Recession" appearing July 31, 2009 in MC Tips 'N Techniques, that I omitted an emerging new favorite: SugarCRM.
"Chris - you forgot SugarCRM which is not only free but with the upsurge of PHP on the IBM i becoming quite popular."

Thanks Jon--I see that SugarCRM has a free community edition called Sugar Open Source available at http://www.sugarforge.org/content/open-source/. It also a 30-day free trial on its commercial versions for those who need more functionality including the Express version, which is $499 per year for up to five users. Sugar Professional, even more robust, is $360 per user, per year, and Sugar Enterprise is $600 per user per year. SugarCRM has a number of nifty new features including integration with third-party data service providers such as Hoover's, JigSaw, and LinkedIn. SugarCRM also has a marketplace where you can browse apps that others have written for the platform.
