Business Wire, Oct 8, 2008

RALEIGH, N.C. -- SplendidCRM Software, Inc., a pioneering provider of Microsoft-centric Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions for open-source use, today announced the launch of Version 2.1 of its flagship platform SplendidCRM on the Mono/Linux platform. By providing support for both PostgreSQL and Mono, SplendidCRM is able to provide the benefits of Rapid Application Development (RAD) to the CRM platform in an all open-source environment.

"We were pleasantly surprised how easily and quickly we were able to port SplendidCRM to the PostgreSQL database platform," said Paul Rony, President of SplendidCRM. "The database is rock solid and the development tools are excellent."

"Site-based and hosted application providers need a database infrastructure with uncompromising performance, reliability and scalability," said Fred Holahan, VP of Marketing for EnterpriseDB Corporation, the leading provider of Postgres products and services. "By supporting PostgreSQL, SplendidCRM now offers its customers a CRM experience based on the world's most advanced open source database solution."

This release takes advantage of a number of advances in Mono, including support for Master Pages and AJAX. "We are grateful to Novell and the Mono team as they make it incredibly easy to create a cross-platform application using Microsoft .NET and C#," said Mr. Rony.

"We are thrilled that the work that we are doing in Mono allows SplendidCRM to reach more platforms and increase their customer base, and at the same time improving the Linux ecosystem by having more great applications available on it," said Miguel de Icaza, Vice President, Developer Platform at Novell.
