The latest SugarCRM release provides a new platform, CRM, and on-demand capabilities.SugarCRM, a company that develops both an open-source and proprietary blend of Customer Relationship Management software, announced earlier this week the beta release of the next iteration of its software.

The Sugar 5.0 beta, released August 27, introduces new capabilities that appeal to developers and less technical users, including the ability to build custom modules, a new AJAX e-mail client and a so-called Multi-Instance On Demand architecture that really is a revamped on-demand capability for the company.

The Sugar 5.0 upgrades span four areas: Platform, CRM (Customer Relationship Management), architecture and community development.
