SugarCRM iPad Application Leverages User Experience Features

SugarCRM is introducing a Sugar iPad application, a totally customizable CRM program that leverages the iPad's distinctive user experience features.

The software was developed on Appcelerator® Titanium, that allows web-developers to rapidly develop native iPad applications that feature native performance, native iPad user interfaces, and native accessibility to iPad's system functionality.

Sugar on the iPad expands SugarCRM's modular design with a streamlined user experience that is adapted to fulfill each user's particular requirements. It places a focus on providing the most important data required while on-the-go.

Capabilities include:

Quick view display: shows the most immediate opportunities, essential contacts, and forthcoming group meetings.

Easy to customize modules screen: Users can drag-and-drop their preferred SugarCRM modules to very easily set up the application in accordance to their requirements.

Data synchronization: Retain contactsalong with other information synced between the iPad and the cloud.

Easy drill-down: Speedily gain access to critical client details that are most relevant whilst travelling.

SugarCRM will incorporate comparable functions for the iPhone in a future update.

User Experience

iPad user experience features build on, yet make the brand-new platform noticeably distinctive, from its successful iPhone predecessor. New controls such as split views and popovers permit iPad-specific interfaces that adjust to different uses such as portrait or landscape viewing. Appcelerator, the top system for rapidly developing native mobile, desktop, and iPad programs using web technologies, has allowed SugarCRM to build on these features recently launched by Apple, but at a small fraction of the development time and price tag needed by coding the application in Objective-C.

By utilizing Titanium's open source platform for creating native iPhone and iPad applications, SugarCRM can also port its application with other mobile platforms such as Android and Blackberry by utilizing a single Titanium codebase.

SugarCRM plans to roll out Sugar for iPad in August 2010.
