A Message from Sugar CEO, Craig Charlton, to Our Customers and Partners

 

Dominating the news cycle, COVID-19 is changing the way we do business as the nations work together to stem its spread. In the midst of these changes, Sugar’s top priority has not changed—we are still here to support the Sugar family, from our customers to our partners and employees worldwide. Sugar is operating business as usual and our commitment to your success is unwavering and steadfast, and there are a few messages we’d like to share.

First, we are all in this together: We may reside on different continents, in different time zones, and a  part of different communities, but we are one. We are here with you to walk through this together, not only business to business, but human to human. As we continue to monitor this situation and closely follow expert advice and government directives to prioritize the health of our Sugar family, our employee base remains resilient. Our global team is already working remotely and securely from wherever they are (as they often do), causing minimal if any, interruption to our customers and daily work. Many of you are also aware that we have postponed our SugarConnection Sydney event to prioritize the health and safety of all involved. We are currently crafting a re-imagined virtual experience, which will continue for all scheduled events until we are able to, once again, meet together.

 At Sugar, the success of our customers is also our success. With our cloud-native platform and our global team of experts, we are fully prepared to continually support you as you maneuver business continuity challenges. Our commitment to you is more than just words—it is a central pillar of Sugar. I invite you if there are any questions or concerns to reach out to me at ccharlton@sugarcrm.com.

Thank you for your continued trust and faith in SugarCRM. Stay safe and healthy, and we will continue to walk this journey alongside you.

 


Join us in Connect Anywhere via the Sugar Community where we will continue to work together to encourage and strengthen each other. We invite you to use this space to connect and enable your success as part of the Sugar family.
