SugarCRM, which showcased us the top-notch CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software and a time-aware CX (Customer Experience) platform has now launched SugarPredict. It is a data-driven AI (Artificial Intelligence) for SugarCRM users. As of now, the key purpose of this new technology is to eliminate guesswork from business activities like Sales and Marketing.
