Years back I moved us from ACT! to SugarCRM (community) so that
we could go from a desktop application to a web based CRM. My
problem here is that I am the administrator of Sugar. Looking
back Salesforce may have been a better choice. SugarCRM
complains to me that I need to update it. For me to do that is
a multi-day affair at considerable labor cost. To be fair, I do
have SQL access to our CRM and that has allowed me to do some
very nice data mining. <br>
<br>
At $5 per user this is cheaper than me making email into a
hobby. If I found a US service I could continue to use my
dovecot setup for local storage, backup, etc and the service
could pull from that.<br>
The users would then have access to "Exchange." One day of my
time setting up Zimbra would equal months of those user fees for
my organization. Add in upgrades, etc and you have more hours
that drive up those costs. </small><br>

<small>If the web interface is good enough then getting users off
Outlook will save even more cash.</small><br>
