New SugarOutfitters Marketplace for Add-Ons and Integrations

I am thrilled to share the global launch of SugarOutfitters, the new marketplace for SugarCRM add-ons and integrations.

SugarOutfitters is a curated marketplace of high-quality third-party apps and add-ons that pass a rigorous certification process. More than 200 add-ons support a wide range of capabilities, including computer telephony integration, chat and SMS functionality, multi-factor authentication, sales territory management, and more. When a Sugar customer adds a product from SugarOutfitters like Survey Rocket or RT Telephony to their Sugar system, they are equipping their CRM with the exact functionality they need to accelerate finding and growing their own customers.

Sugar power users and administrators can access user reviews, streamlined e-commerce purchasing and recurring billing, free trials, and more. Additional "how-to" articles give guidance on how extensions offered can help customers get full value out of their Sugar platform. What's more, all SugarOutfitters purchases are backed by a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.

This announcement is particularly pleasing to me because of how it came about. Several years ago, a couple developers in the Sugar community saw an opportunity to build a business around making it simple for Sugar customers to find those high-quality add-ons and integrations And they saw the opportunity to help other Sugar developers build their own businesses through selling add-ons in a marketplace. Think "Amazon for CRM." That's how SugarOutfitters was born.

We loved it so much that we had to make Outfitters officially part of the Sugar family.

Back to those two Sugar developers: Jason Eggers and Chad Hutchins. They have always impressed me with their unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction and the passionate community they have built around SugarOutfitters. It is an honor to continue their great work and take SugarCRM's partner ecosystem to the next level. I'd like to thank Jason and Chad for everything they have done and wish them huge success with their next company, Glances.

What's Next for SugarOutfitters?

First off, we will continue to do what SugarOutfitters has done so well already:

• Same high-quality add-ons
• Same extensive certification program
• Same 30-day satisfaction guarantee
• Same passion for a tight-knit community.

We also plan to do more. We will build on top of this great platform and deliver even more for our customers and partners:

• More awesome extensions
• More integrations with other killer products
• New industry templates
• New listing services for CRM consulting and development services

I bet you can't wait to see all this great stuff coming out soon. I know I'm excited.
