Connect Sugar Professional and QuickBooks® for a Complete Business Solution

CARY, NC – May 18, 2006 – RPS Technology LLC, a single-source provider of SugarCRMä services including deployment, data migration, system integration and hosting, announces QConnectorä, a complete business solution for linking SugarCRM customer relationship management software with Intuit®’s QuickBooks® business software.

As a premier SugarCRM business partner and reseller of SugarCRM software, RPS Technology developed QConnector in response to customers’ needs to have a more comprehensive system for effectively tracking financial data with regard to
sales and marketing efforts. 

QConnector is the first commercially available connector for QuickBooks software and Sugar Professional.  It provides companies with real-time access to customer account and payment information from within Sugar Professional.  Having a single, coordinated database for customer information gives both sales and accounting an advantage when it comes to preventing duplicate entries, checking payment status and maintaining customer database integrity.

“We have seen a lot of interest in this product with our existing SugarCRM customer base and feel that this combination allows businesses to have a complete view of their customer database from within Sugar Professional,” remarked Stacey Robinson, president of RPS Technology.

QConnector is currently in beta testing at key customer sites across the United States.  Brandon Cruz, CTO of Norvax, Inc. (www.norvax.com), commented, “We are very excited about this new product.  It will not only save us time and money by removing the need to do double entry of invoice data into QuickBooks, but will also give our sales team real-time visibility of the payment and financial status for existing customers.”

If you are interested in the beta version of QConnector, visit www.rpstechnology.com/qconnector.  QConnector will be in full production Q3 2006 and will be available from RPS Technology at an annual fee of $180 per user.
