SugarCRM CEO John Roberts Describes SaaS Strategy, Potential 2010 IPO
,----[ Quote ]
| John Roberts is sitting in the middle of the perfect storm. As CEO of
| SugarCRM, he leads one of the fastest-growing open source application
| providers. And roughly 30 percent of SugarCRM’s customer wins now involve
| software as a service (SaaS) or an on-demand approach — meaning the company
| competes with traditional CRM (Siebel) and hosted models like Salesforce.com.

| for the open source method, and a desire to understand the big picture of
| open collaboration and how that can ultimately create long-term benefits for
| the industry and for customers.

| explains why this licensing scheme is a financial necessity for the company,
| and offers some excellent advice for people who want to start their own open
| source-based companies.
