SugarCRM offers three versions of its suite. In addition to the two commercial versions, Sugar Professional and Sugar Enterprise, there is a "Community Edition" available for download under the GNU General Public License Version 3 (GPLv3). The CRM software may be deployed either as a traditional on-site server application or delivered over the web via the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model. BT intends to offer its customers the Professional and Enterprise versions, both as a software package for local installation and as a hosted service.
