I have dual posted this to the user and biz lists.

Has anyone ever heard of someone running an Asterisk based system,
yet Has abandoning SugarCRM, and opting to develop their own
Visual FoxPro Has database/CRM?

Please don't dump on me now, this is not my idea, I am just asking
for Please comments, to see if my own initial thoughts are
reasonably accurate.







I'll answer it on the user list. I don't think the idea is developed
enough to discuss on biz.

First - vtiger is available for those who don't like the SugarCRM
licensing.
  
  
  

It's not a licensing complaint.  At least that has not surfaced.  It
is more that the programmer does not seem to be comfortable with
SugarCRM, MySQL and php.
Biggest compliant about sugar is - hard to configure, does not work
with latest
php.
 

   



Second -  developing your own CRM is an ambitious undertaking.  You
need
good reasons to go in that direction.

Third -  I have enough exposure to  Visual FoxPro to quickly rule
it out
as  a choice for anything new. The fact that somebody is proposing to
use it might give you the idea that they don't know what they are
talking about at all. BTW - my exposure to it did include things like
access from linux apps using ODBC so I know enough to hate the
product.
  
  
  

It still makes me wonder why the programmer chooses Visual Foxpro.
Sounds like he also rejects many other language and database options.
  
  

original poster didn't say it was 'visual foxpro'.



Yes he did say that. Check the indent levels above to see OP is Joe
acquisto.
  

yep, i somehow skipped over that part.  more coffee!
