Has anyone heard of Sugar CRM?

Sugar CRM

I saw it on sourceforge. It looks real nice. What do you think it would take to XOOPS it?

Yes it's a very good CRM and I use it sice a year in my job. (I want to buy the full version with the outlook connectors soon)
It's too big for me to adapt it in xoops.. (very big time to do this)
A real good open source soft.

Yes, I've taken a look. Really nice.

A helluva lot of time - it is a very big system and I would say it could go into hundreds of hours to make a fully ported module.

Sure. So what... like $200

Seriously, I do not think a full port is good idea. It would end up like the OS Commerce module. Started, but never finished.

What about hacking it to use the XOOPS authentication schema, and running it in an iframe or something like that? Kind of like how FlashChat has 7 different versions that authenticate with different CMS, but no real change to the application.

That way new versions would require very little to update to work with Xoops.

$200 an hour? Sounds pretty fair to me

Might work. I'm not an Iframe expert, and I am certainly not a SugarCRM expert, so I cannot say how hard or how easy that would be.

It would be a much smaller task, though, but depending very much on whether users and contacts are separate entities in SugarCRM, it will have to be coupled with the XOOPS User layer to a higher or lower extent (is that correct English? ah well, it'll have to do )

Anything is possible, it is just a matter of how integrated it should be. SugarCRM has the advantage that - as far as I remember - it is quite well written with good, clean code.
