Sugar on the Rocks

So, enterprise software doesn’t have to be boring, apparently:

“That said, this was not just a good party but the conference itself was extremely well planned and well done and had some of that high spirited sense of community. What was particularly interesting to me was to see the genuine interest the customers, the partners and the developers had for the company, the people and the product itself. They liked it, sure, but they were INTERESTED in it and where it was going . They seemed to feel they had a stake in its success, which is as Shakespeare said somewhere, a “devoutly to be wished” position for a vendor to be in. Part of that was there seems to be an open culture and I hear from my friends at SugarCRM that they enjoy the ride they are on. Not something I’ve been hearing from too many of the CRM companies these days. Now I hear all the time that they are well run or they are producing excellent products or that they are doing some great things (and all of that, for the companies I hear about that - is true) but I don’t hear much about enjoyment of the work and the ride. I hear it with SugarCRM now (and with Workday) and used to hear it with other companies a few years ago. But to hear startup excitement and rocking in a company that’s no longer a startup is exciting unto itself - and for that, SugarCRM, I salute you.” - Paul Greenberg, writing about his experience from SugarCon 08

I have to look into that.
