The demand for a tool to simplify this process isn’t new, but CRM as we know it today has started developing in the last fifteen years.

I like building, creating, shaping…new ideas, new software, new businesses. Earlier in my career, my focus was on building awesome software. When we started Sugar in 2004, our vision was simple: make the world’s best CRM software available to every company around the world. I admit it. I have my head in the clouds often.
