Your clients desire a CRM solution that is protected under a standard commercial software license, not an open source license (see question, “Why Sell Sugar Professional or Sugar Enterprise?”)
• Partners receive early access to pre-release versions of Sugar Professional and Enterprise (community previews, beta releases and release candidates) before they are generally available. • Pre-release training on topics such as installation, upgrades, new features and functionality, administration, and tips & tricks. • Membership to the SugarCRM Professional and Partner Forums, a critical asset to partner productivity. • Deal assistance from the SugarCRM Partner Alliances team. • Any customizations to Commercial Open Source must be made available to the entire community free of charge. Many clients may view their customizations as a competitive advantage and would not want these made publicly available.
