New Year greetings!
I am very happy to inform you all that vtiger has been mentioned in Ismael Ghalimi’s recent Inferences for 07 article, which predicts about growth of Enterprise & Online Office applications.
Ismael Ghalimi predicts:
Open Source vendors will grow faster than their closed source competitors
More user accounts will be created on SugarCRM and vtiger combined than on Salesforce.com.
In response to Jason M. Lemkin, CEO EchoSign:
This I believe, but how much revenue will the accounts generate vs. CRM seats? And will they really dent the core CRM base & growth rate? All accounts of course not created equal.
Ismael says:
Jason,
You’re right in saying that revenues generated by SugarCRM and vtiger will be a lot less than the ones generated by Salesforce.com. But what interests me is the disruptive power of such solutions. In the end, they make a difference, much like the availability of a good Open Source J2EE application server (JBoss) completely reshaped this industry, to the customers’ benefit.
I am confident that with our community support we will be able to establish as a credible players in CRM domain.
Cheers,
Gopal
