CiviCRM is a web-based, open source software that allows you to record and manage information about your members, clients, volunteers, activists, donors, and vendors.

Unlike most other CRM software, CiviCRM was designed from the ground up for non-profits, membership and advocacy organizations. Rather than trying to adapt to a commercial sales-force automation model, CiviCRM gives you familiar terms and concepts. CiviCRM is freely down loadable without licensing fees – making it an affordable and cost effective solution compared to most proprietary vendor offerings.

CiviCRM integrates directly with popular open source Content Management systems - Drupal and Joomla!. Registration and visitor interactions are logged directly into the system – making CiviCRM the obvious choice for organizations who want to engage and activate their communities.

Doesn’t matter what industry you are in. You need to track your customers. You have to keep up with their important information and yet assign managers to different contacts. jContacts handles all those aspects of a CRM and MORE! You can enable access restrictions, assign managers to contacts, request user updates, and so much more. It can be accessed via the front end or the back end. You can create a customized lead capture form that can replace the Joomla! contact form and integrates directly into your jContacts. Auto-create Joomla! users from your contacts, allow them to access their profile via the front end to update their own information.

Not only can you handle contacts, but with jSupport you can handle all manner of client support tickets, and FAQ’s. In fact, converting a resolved support ticket to a frequently asked question is as simple as one click. You can easily setup categories, assign priority, configure automated emails and more.

Need more then that. Look at jAccounts . This portion of jForce deals with quoting and invoicing. You can generate quotes with associated services or products, specify quantities and more. If you have it configured in the back end the invoices will be automatically generated when you save the quote (you can even choose how many invoices to split the quote into). Not to worry, the invoices will remain unpublished until the quote is approved. The client can approve the quote in the front end or you can manually approve it in the admin panel. Payment methods are incorporated so that your clients can pay their invoices online. Currently PayPal, 2Checkout, Google Checkout, and Authorize.net payment gateways are incorporated - with more to come! All configured through an easy to use back end.

After a request from a potential client with three websites and wanting each to have a similiar eCommerce solution. Knowing that VirtueMart or OS Commerce wasn’t able to provide one common database for three seperate websites, I suggested a product named Magento.

Magento is an open-source e-Commerce package, that primarily aims to pickup and improve where OS Commerce, Joomla + VirtueMart, and Zen Cart left off - streamlining a CMS (Content Management System) and E-commerce shopping cart. This also means built-in SEO (Search Engine Optimization), Paypal and Google Checkout integration, varied customer groups, and much more.

However what most interested the client was, you are able to control multiple websites shopping carts from one installation of Magento. This is a great feature that is already included in Magento’s out-of-the-box functionality.

Gap.com has recently updated its homepage to reflect an exciting new feature on its sites that allows users to shop Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, and Piperlime using a single checkout process for all stores.

A publication of content and Web links, sorted in chronological order, with the most recent at the top. The content reflects personal or corporate interests, and is almost always written by an individual. Blogs were originally called web logs or weblogs. However, as “web log” can also mean a server’s log files, the term was confusing. To avoid this confusion, the abbreviation “blog” was coined, and became the common term.

Imagine the possibilities. You can have your content spread through the entire network in the twinkling of an eye, to build an audience overnight. You’ve just tapped into the ultimate in viral marketing and branding.

This ability has brought forth a whole new type of guerrilla marketing. While at first blogging was simply seen as something neat to do, when the concept hit the mainstream, people realized that they could be used to build personal and corporate credibility that would attract customers.

If you are thinking about using a blog for your business, the key to remember in making a blog work for you is to focus on a topic that relates to your work and or expertise.
