Covide is an open source, webbased Customer Relationship Management application. It's developed in PHP and MySQL and is licensed under the GPL license.

Cooperation
The ethic behind Covide is 'cooperation'. Through the publication of the project on SourceForge everybody is invited to help think and work on the functionality and technique of the project.
Covide itself is based on cooperation as well. The relations and projects play a dominant role. These are the main items that can contain connections with other modules and objects within Covide. This way you can simply connect, sort and archivate.
The second focus in Covide is groupware. In Covide this means you can seamlessly cooperate with colleagues even through different layers of departments.
Trivia
- Since late 2004 phonecalls through the VoIP protocol are integrated. Usually with open source software like Asterisk PBX. It has therefore been developed to unified communications software.
- By using synchronisation software like Funambol you can sync your appointments and e-mails with your PDA and for example Microsoft Outlook.
