licensed or hosted CRM. The concept of open source software is simple. The source code is
freely available, publicly modifiable and flexible. The model puts control in the hands of

proprietary software model. Having anchored itself within the infrastructure stack, open
source is starting to break into the world of business
applications and customer relationship management is an early target.”
