CUPERTINO, Calif — September 9, 2016 – SugarCRM Inc., the company that enables businesses to create extraordinary customer relationships with the most empowering, adaptable and affordable CRM solution on the market, today announced it has been named to the first-ever Forbes 2016 Cloud 100, the definitive list of the top 100 private cloud companies in the world, developed in partnership with Bessemer Venture Partners. To view the list, please visit www.forbes.com/cloud100. The list will appear in the October 4, 2016 issue of Forbes magazine.

“We are honored to be named to the prestigious Cloud 100 list and believe that our philosophy of cloud deployment flexibility sets us apart in the CRM industry,” said Clint Oram, CMO and co-founder at SugarCRM. “Companies that are looking for greater control over their customer data, more deployment options and a reliable infrastructure should consider Sugar as their CRM platform.”

Unlike proprietary clouds, SugarCRM gives its customers the freedom to deploy in the way that best suits their business and IT requirements. This includes Sugar On-Demand, where SugarCRM manages the cloud environment. Customers can also choose any leading public cloud, or a partner’s hosting environment. They can also deploy in a single-tenant private cloud model, or a hybrid combination of public and private clouds.

“Cloud companies are revolutionizing how businesses reach their customers today from digitizing painful old processes to allowing them more time to focus on what they really care about—what makes their products unique,” said Forbes editor of the Cloud 100 list Alex Konrad. “Inclusion in the Forbes 2016 Cloud 100 list recognizes a company for its financial growth and excellence as recognized by customers and peers.”

“These are the companies to watch!” said Byron Deeter, a leading cloud investor and partner at Bessemer Venture Partners. “The Forbes Cloud 100 companies represent the very best private companies in cloud computing. We will see big IPOs and category killers emerge from this list as cloud computing continues to propel the trillion-dollar software industry.”

Methodology

Forbes, in partnership with Bessemer Venture Partners, received hundreds of submissions to identify the most promising private companies in the cloud.
