Enterprise CRM Integrations
Built and maintained enterprise-grade integrations connecting SugarCRM and SuiteCRM with essential business tools including payment processing, cloud storage, telephony, and e-signature services.
Project Overview
At Rolustech, I started my career maintaining and enhancing enterprise CRM integration products that connected SugarCRM and SuiteCRM with essential business services.
