They will go public to try to push the loss and extra-high valuation on to the average stock investor.

Dumb people will buy their stock which is the only way to return $$ VC money to early investors.

SugarCRM will crater in price — but their weak financials mean they will never go public.

Seems their phone number is on every page. Paul did you even see it?

It’s not just on the contact page, but on the home page and every where else.

CRM is a business philosophy, a way of thinking about your internal business processes beyond system efficiency and internal control. So before selecting a CRM for organization buyer needs to cross check the product and developer both!

I’m sure that the folks at FreeCRM are very friendly, but to claim that they are more friendly than SplendidCRM is a stretch? They don’t even list their phone number on their contact page. If you are evaluating a CRM, the best suggestion that I can give is to call or contact all three.

Companies go public so that owners and investors can cash-out. The bottom line is that the investors that put in $46M 5+ years ago want their money back. At SplendidCRM, we think it is a wonderful idea for SugarCRM to go public, even though we are direct competitors. The public loves to invest in companies that have friendly competitors, and none are more friendly than the folks at SplendidCRM Software.

Why does SugarCRM need to go public?
They’re profitable, they have great customers, why not look after them and keep doing the good stuff?
Going public will put extra pressure on them to make more money from existing and new customers – a very distracting exercise.
