X2Engine, creators of X2CRM, a compact, powerful open source customer information system, announced today its partnership with BitNami, a leading provider of ready-to-run installers. This collaborative effort enables users to deploy the latest release of X2CRM in native or cloud environments with a single click.

BitNami-packaged applications are available free of charge as a native installer for Linux, Windows and OS X, in 64 and 32 bit packages, an Ubuntu-based virtual appliance, an AMI for the Amazon Cloud and an image for the Windows Azure cloud. BitNami Cloud Hosting provides a growing library of the most popular open source applications, ready to be launched with the click of a button.

With BitNami packaged installers administrators can quickly and easily deploy X2CRM in minutes, said John Roberts, founder of X2Engine. No more web server or database setup; BitNami makes it easy.

We are excited to add X2CRM to our stack of packaged open source CRM applications, said Erica Brescia, CEO of BitRock Inc, the developer of BitNami.

Unlike other CRM systems, X2CRM was designed to be light and fast, while boasting an intuitive user interface. With X2CRM, users have the ability to capture leads from the web, nurture leads through specified workflows and track these leads as they return to your website, helping to accurately gauge interest and cue sales processes. The inclusion of marketing automation, including a rich campaign editor, into the CRM system ensures a comprehensive picture of leads, customers and everybody in between.

Additionally, X2Engine announces their incremental Version 2.7 release. Most attractive about this release is the new Activity Feed, a comprehensive, real-time report of all actions in the software, including Contact touches, Social activity and Workflow advances. This release also includes UI and Web Tracker Listeners enhancements.
