Unveiling the Centric CRM 5.0 Product Roadmap
Posted by Matt Rajkowski on April 30, 2007, 8:00 AM EDT
As part of Centric CRM's commitment to its growing developer and user community, and our commitment to open source best practices including making product development as transparent as possible, we are publishing the product roadmap for the upcoming release of Centric CRM 5.0. This roadmap is based on truly extensive input from customers, partners, and community members. Our goal is to finish active development on the 5.0 product by early summer, with QA and testing to follow.
Significant new capabilities in the 5.0 release (some of which are already in the source code—see the project Wiki for details) include website authoring and content management capabilities including basic e-commerce, the integration of JSR-168 Portal/Portlet functionality throughout much of the application, ehnancements to Action Plans, administration tools for multi-tenant systems, an offline version of Centric CRM, and the integration of Web 2.0 capabilities such as Wikis, Blogs, and RSS feeds directly into the CRM application itself.
This is an exciting, ambitious release that will benefit from community contributions and input. Please take a close look at the roadmap, and let us know if you have any questions or comments. Better yet, get involved with the development of any features that seem particularly important to you.
Thanks for your support and assistance.
