What is Centric CRM
 Centric CRM is one of the major players in the CRM Open Source arena. It’s a mature
product that is the result of 7 calendar and over 50 man years of careful development.
Centric CRM has been architected to be cross platform, at both the operating system and
browser level.

 The more complex features can all be turned off by the customer, leaving a lean and mean
contact management system with opportunity management and sales forecasting for the
small enterprise.
Centric CRM v3.0
 There is a tremendous amount of customization that can be done from their administrative module.

 Their CRM server supports MS Windows, various flavors of Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, and BSD.

 Centric CRM is not based on LAMP.

 This architecture was abandoned several years ago in favor of Java and a SQL database similar
to Postgresql or MS SQL Server. This due to its potential unsuitability for large enterprise
customers.
Centric CRM v3.0
 Centric is a fully J2EE compliant Open Source CRM application.

 Centric has a free, fully supported five user version that you can simply download and install.

 When you purchase or download the free version of Centric CRM, there is no requirement for additional
software.

 More licenses will incur a reasonable charge, but their Maintenance Agreement includes all minor and major
upgrades.

 Open Source based CRM software solutions are cost-effective if you have access to the necessary support.

 The solution must first and foremost suit your needs, though. But then you don’t need to be told that!
