Ability to 'Visualize' Relationships Advances CRM Capabilities

WASHINGTON -- Q-Industries, an interactive agency that designs and builds online brands, websites and applications was awarded "Most Creative CRM Implementation" in the Best of SugarCRM Awards, announced at the CRM Acceleration Summit in New York City.

As one of two companies awarded the Most Creative Implementation, Q-Industries developed a social network analysis module that gives organizations the ability to visually see the relationship between contacts for use in fundraising, recruiting, business intelligence and a variety of other needs. The application fits into SugarCRM, the worldwide commercial open-source customer relationship management (CRM) software that allows companies to easily customize and integrate customer-facing business processes.

The "Most Creative CRM Implementation" recognizes an implementation instance that challenges the normal scope of a CRM implementation and broadens the impact that a CRM system can have on a business.

"Q-Industries has pushed the envelope. By merging SugarCRM with the power of social network analysis to visualize relationships, they've clearly demonstrated creativity, business value, and command of the SugarCRM platform," said John Roberts, CEO and Co-Founder of SugarCRM.

More than 40 companies were nominated for the Best of SugarCRM Awards, with 18 companies selected as award finalists. The winners were selected based on merit, interviews and results driven from their Sugar implementation, and announced at the fifth summit organized to address CRM decision makers' top concerns.
