Intelestream is a professional services and product development firm specializing in Open Source Customer
Relationship Management (CRM) software applications.
History
The company was founded in 2006 by a group of CRM industry veterans, led by Jason Green, who was an early
employee of SugarCRM. Green determined the growing market for Open Source CRM consulting services
warranted the formation of a separate organization. Intelestream began as a professional services provider to
organizations implementing and customizing the SugarCRM suite of products. Intelestream's early clients during this
period included the National Headquarters for the YMCA [2] .
By the end of 2007, Intelestream had developed the first fully functional Google Maps integration tool for
SugarCRM, marking the company's inaugural step into software development [3] . In 2008, The company continued
to gain recognition throughout the CRM community for its extensive SugarCRM plugin offerings including The
StarRater, The Address Verification Tool, The Zip Code Radius Search and The Phone Number Formatter [4] .
While continuing to keep SugarCRM consulting at the core of its business, Intelestream expanded its open source
software development efforts with the release of Perpetual Sourcing (later called intelesourcing), the first talent
sourcing application for human resources to follow a CRM-logic workflow [5] .
With the official release of intelecrm in 2008, Intelestream became a provider of their own open source CRM
application [6] .
