It is a software fork of the popular customer relationship management (CRM) system from SugarCRM and its base is built on the last open-source SugarCRM release. The SuiteCRM project began when SugarCRM decided to stop the development of its open-source version. [3] (Open-source CRM is often used as an alternative to proprietary CRM software from major corporations such as HubSpot, Salesforce, and Microsoft Dynamics CRM applications.)

It was originally released on October 21, 2013, as version 7.0 and provides upgrade paths for existing SugarCRM users. It is an extended version of SugarCRM which contains additional security fixes not available in SugarCRM.
