Case Study: King Worldwide
King Worldwide Selects SugarCRM to Increase Visibility and Collaboration across Six Companies
We concluded that Sugar was a better value. Salesforce was more expensive and for our purposes didn’t provide any additional benefits.

Business Challenges
As a growing organization, King Worldwide needed a system that could provide visibility and support collaboration among six of its companies, each of which has its own set of services and clients.
