SugarCRM does not have to work alone – it can converse with many different systems and automate mundane data entry across multiple platforms.   SugarCRM users know that, due to the developer-friendly/open-source nature of SugarCRM’s code, there are a diverse number of available applications created to make your SugarCRM experience easier.  The convenient applications cover many varied topics, but we have found people regularly asking about particular features. The vast variety of plug-in options are confusing.  To make the process easier, BrainSell has narrowed down the top choices for 2017.
