Is there any research to indicate what the Open Source CRM marketplace might look like in 2018? Everyone knows SugarCRM is the market leader, but does any research indicate they will remain the leader in 6 years? With the rise of so many solid open source CRM applications such as Zurmo (http://zurmo.org), I wonder if there will be anyone to challenge Sugar’s top spot.
Thanks,

Hello, Denise! Could you pls tell me, what does “with an average implementation size of 68 users” mean? (Sorry for a stupid question, but I’m not an economist).
Hi Dasha. That’s the average CRM user count – for example: 33 sales department users, 24 customer service department users, and 11 marketing department users. Hope that helps!

What is the Social CRM consulting and system Integration service market size ? Any thoughts?
Hi Prakash – Those are good questions for a follow-up research project. Thanks.
