04.26.10 SugarCRM Introduces New User Interface  By Mike Sachoff SugarCRM, a provider of open source customer relationship management software, has introduced the beta release of Sugar 6. Sugar 6 is designed for speed. The application features a revamped User Setup wizard. When setup is complete, users will find a CRM application designed for speed and simplicity. The Sugar Shortcut Bar is a toolbar through out the application that allows users to perform common tasks in one click, including creating an account, contact, sales opportunity, document, note, task or logging a meeting or call. Included in the ShortCut Bar, users will see a context-aware Global Search field which filters search results based on the module in use (e.g., Contacts, Opportunities and Accounts) and produces results without leaving the page. Sugar 6 features new buttons and icons that allow users to perform tasks more easily while increasing the amount of information on each screen. Simplified default views, inline filtering and one-click actions conform to the multitasking environment. In each view, users will see module menus that show where the user is in the application as well as providing information about previously viewed pages, filtered results based on user permissions, and convenient tab naming that allows users to more easily navigate Sugar across multiple browser tabs. Sugar 6 also includes native application support for popular smart phone operating systems, including for the iPhone, Android and Blackberry smart phones. SugarCRM is also one of the first to market with a native application for the Apple iPad. "Over the last 10 years, technology innovation has moved ahead at an amazing clip while the design and usability of CRM applications has stagnated. Until now." said Larry Augustin, CEO of SugarCRM. "Sugar 6 delivers a look, feel and user experience that consumers of popular social networking and other collaboration tools will appreciate." About the Author: Mike is a staff writer for WebProNews.
