SugarCRM Selects Connector Tool for Google Calendar as SugarForge.org
Project of the Month
Connector Tool Allows SugarCRM Users to Integrate Business Activities
Within Google Calendar to Increase Efficiency and Customer Service
CUPERTINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SugarCRM, the world’s leading provider of commercial open source
customer relationship management (CRM) software, today announced that it
has selected MyCRM GmbH’s Connector
Tool for Google Calendar™ as the SugarForge.org Project of the
Month. MyCRM GmbH, an open source and SaaS systems integrator, created
the Connector Tool for Google Calendar to enable users to blend all
business and personal activities within the SugarCRM instance into one
view in Google Calendar. This new capability makes scheduling activities
with customers and other users more efficient.
Each month, SugarCRM highlights a project of the month winner on
SugarForge.org, the company’s community website. Over 115,000 registered
members participate in the SugarCRM forums with 17,000 registered
developers who actually develop modules on SugarForge.org. Projects of
the Month are selected on the quality of a project’s code, its overall
activity and its general usefulness as an extension to SugarCRM. The
Connector Tool for Google Calendar project clearly meets the criterion
and exemplifies the spirit of the Sugar Community.
The Connector Tool for Google Calendar provides access to one view of
private, social and business activities. Users can send activities such
as calls, meetings or tasks within their SugarCRM instance to the Google
Calendar. This way, the transfer of information is seamless and
recognizable. MyCRM GmbH also uses NuevaSync and Google Mobile to push
Google Calendar events to a user’s iPhone™. This allows users to hold
meetings or calls planned in SugarCRM that are automatically pushed to
the mobile devices without the hassles of a sync-based-client.
“SugarForge.org is the preferred place to exchange concepts and code for
developers of SugarCRM, so it’s only natural that we create code that we
want to share with this platform,” said Clemens von Dincklage, MyCRM
GmbH. “We currently have many SugarCRM projects in the works and we look
forward to developing and delivering these tools to meet the needs of
our customers who want to be introduced to SugarCRM.”
In addition to the Connector Tool for Google Calendar, MyCRM GmbH is a
frequent contributor on SugarForge.org. Most recently, MyCRM GmbH
released a new Connector
that enables SugarCRM to integrate with Dimdim, the world’s easiest web
conferencing platform. Users now have access to enterprise web
conferencing and CRM at a fraction of the cost of proprietary offerings.
“We are pleased to recognize MyCRM GmbH’s contribution to the SugarCRM
community with the development of the Connector Tool for Google
Calendar,” said Clint Oram, co-founder and vice president of product
management. “It is especially critical that developer’s like MyCRM GmbH
work with open source tools to deliver low cost (and in this case free)
solutions that increase productivity in these hard economic times.”
