SugarCRM Releases 5.5 Beta With More Mobile CRM Tools

Open source customer relationship management software provider SugarCRM has announced the beta release of the 5.5 edition of the application. There’s an online demo version available on the SugarCRM web site.

Some of the new features in the 5.5 release include:

• mobile studio editor
• dynamic teams
• enhanced web services framework
• advanced password management
• themes framework

The ability to create and manage themes seems to be the hot topic on both CRM and CMS offerings. Thanks to a relatively simple structure I was able to convert a theme from Drupal to Wordpress very easily.

Matt Heitzenroder has more information on the Sugar Developer Blog. Matt discusses the API updates and the new themes framework.
