- Preface
Welcome to Sugar, an open source Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application. Sugar enables organizations to efficiently organize, populate, and maintain information on all aspects of their customer relationships.
- Introduction
Sugar was originally written on the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP). Since version 1.0, the Sugar development team has added support for every operating system (including Windows, Unix, and Mac OSX) on which the PHP programming language runs for the Microsoft IIS web server and the Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2, and Oracle databases. Designed as the most modern web-based CRM platform available today, Sugar has quickly become the business application standard for companies around the world. See the Supported Platforms page for detailed information on supported software versions and recommended stacks.
