Leopard Catalyst/CRM History

Leopard Catalyst began it's life as Leopard CRM in 2000, originally designed for use within a product development team. Gradually, as more features were added, it grew to be used by customer services teams as well.

Leopard CRM was originally written in PHP. It was originally designed for use on Linux/UNIX based operating systems, but in 2004 Leopard CRM became cross platform as support for Windows Servers was introduced.

The original version of Leopard CRM was released as Open Source software in 2004. Since then it has been downloaded and used by thousands of people all over the world.

In 2006, by customer request, Leopard CRM was rewritten from the ground up. It now has features that far surpass the original version of Leopard CRM. The new version has been written in Ruby on Rails and Java. It can be served from the same supported operating systems as Ruby on Rails including Linux, UNIX, Mac OS X and Windows.

2010 marks a new and exciting year for Leopard CRM. The system has been renamed Leopard Catalyst to reflect the growth of the system beyond only CRM. In April 2010, version 5 has been released with the addition of Event Management features.
