A <strong>Brief</strong> <strong>Summary</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>SuiteCRM</strong><br />

<strong>7.11</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>its</strong> <strong>Features</strong><br />

A customer relationship manager is one <strong>of</strong> the most basic<br />

requirements for any business to function smoothly. So, it<br />

would be much better to have something that small businesses<br />

can also use as they don’t have much monetary freedom.<br />

That’s where open source s<strong>of</strong>tware comes in.<br />

<strong>SuiteCRM</strong>, born out <strong>of</strong> Sugar CRM, is the best open source<br />

CRM available in the market. First <strong>and</strong> foremost, it is available<br />

at no cost. Another neat feature is that you can access the<br />

source code <strong>of</strong> Suite CRM. So, you can tweak to suit your<br />

needs.<br />

The open source community is very active <strong>and</strong> they come up<br />

with the necessary features when dem<strong>and</strong> for them rises <strong>and</strong><br />

in turn, Suite comes out with regular updates by bundling a<br />

few <strong>of</strong> the new features or fixing bugs, every time. The latest<br />

major update that <strong>SuiteCRM</strong> has come up with is <strong>SuiteCRM</strong><br />

<strong>7.11</strong>.<br />

Let’s walk through some <strong>of</strong> the new features in this s<strong>of</strong>tware<br />

update <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong> how they can be useful to the business<br />

owners:<br />

Bi-directional sync with Google Calendar:<br />

Google calendar is perhaps the most popular <strong>and</strong> simple<br />

calendar available in the market. Not to mention how perfectly<br />

it integrates with other Google products. The calendar is<br />

available on multiple platforms <strong>and</strong> is user-friendly. <strong>SuiteCRM</strong><br />

now has bidirectional synchronization with Google calendar.<br />

This means that when you add an event or meeting in one<br />

s<strong>of</strong>tware, it reflects in both.<br />

Users can simply authenticate this integration with their<br />

Google accounts <strong>and</strong> it will be good to go. It’s a great feature<br />

because once the API is set up; the user doesn’t need to access<br />

<strong>SuiteCRM</strong> every time they want to create an event, they can<br />

easily do it from Google Calendar or vice versa.<br />

​Elasticsearch:<br />

All <strong>SuiteCRM</strong> <strong>7.11</strong> users will get the benefit <strong>of</strong> using<br />

Elasticsearch. Those <strong>of</strong> you who are not familiar with it,<br />

Elasticsearch is an indexing engine that is able to provide<br />

real-time search results, making it very useful to use with your<br />

CRM. It was a much-awaited feature for the <strong>SuiteCRM</strong> users.<br />

Apart from Elasticsearch, users will also be able to configure<br />

any search engine they want. It will not be limited to the<br />

default search engine or Elasticsearch. Apart from these<br />

changes, there are <strong>of</strong> course a number <strong>of</strong> little changes in<br />

<strong>SuiteCRM</strong> <strong>7.11</strong> update. Every little bug fix is done to enhance<br />

the usability <strong>of</strong> the CRM <strong>and</strong> to make a great CRM even better.<br />

At the end <strong>of</strong> the day, the whole point <strong>of</strong> a Customer<br />

Relationship Management tool is to be able to make it easier<br />

for the user to get most things done, without any unnecessary<br />

hassle.<br />

<strong>SuiteCRM</strong> <strong>of</strong>fers all the necessary tools that a business<br />

requires, no matter the scale <strong>of</strong> the business. It has great<br />

features that make it simple to promote your products to the<br />

right customers, <strong>and</strong> to keep track <strong>of</strong> all reports regarding the<br />

sales cycle. It also has features where you can get specific data<br />

regarding a specific group <strong>of</strong> customers. This makes it easier<br />

to track what products are in dem<strong>and</strong> in which markets or<br />

what markets have what types <strong>of</strong> dem<strong>and</strong>s.<br />

Summing it up...<br />

A good CRM goes a long way in helping your business run<br />

smoothly. It h<strong>and</strong>les a whole lot <strong>of</strong> functions automatically or<br />

with just a few clicks. Running out <strong>of</strong> stock in the warehouse?<br />

Order it right from your CRM! And what makes this even<br />

better is that <strong>SuiteCRM</strong> is mobile responsive (7.2 <strong>and</strong> above),<br />

so you don’t even have to be at a computer to carry out such<br />

simple tasks.<br />

With regular <strong>SuiteCRM</strong> development updates, access to the<br />

source code, <strong>and</strong> <strong>its</strong> user-friendliness, <strong>SuiteCRM</strong> is the best<br />

option for your start-up or your well-established large-scale<br />

business. The fact that it has the support <strong>of</strong> the open source<br />

<strong>SuiteCRM</strong> development community is helpful. Good, free,<br />

open source platform bridges the gap between businesses that<br />

have plenty <strong>of</strong> money to spend <strong>and</strong> small, growing businesses.<br />

Growing businesses can always opt for ​<strong>SuiteCRM</strong> development<br />

services from their verified development partners <strong>and</strong> small<br />

businesses can benefit from the open source community.<br />

Makes up to a win-win situation.<br />
