Any successful business requires a very good Customer Relationship Management software. The usage of such a system and the potential up to which it will be utilised depends on size of the company, business domain and of course the ability to accept a change. Lot of times I have noticed that people are reluctant to accept a change and many of them using spreadsheets, paper/pencil to keep track of customers, potential customers etc. How many times you have lost data stored that way – Lost paper slips, corrupted Spreadsheet file, Hard disk crash, Operators at your business forgetting to follow up a potential client. What ever the reasons are, you have lost valuable business and in this competitive market it means a lot. Even small mistakes can turn down good business.
We have reviewed and customized a lot of open source and proprietary CRMs and Vtiger is one that impressed us very much. This is one among the Open source projects that is written clean and has a fairly nice documentation. With the ease of use, fact that it is free to use and customize, a lot of the companies are switching to Vtiger. Seeing the number of projects reaching us to customize Vtiger itself shows how much popular this application is getting across the globe.

#1. Open Source.
