This seems to be just a messaging app, but is there a market for more full-featured ERP, CRM and project management software for criminal enterprises?

I'm sure they would benefit from those just the same way legitimate enterprises do. The only difference is that they do more illegal stuff and use more violence, but the fundamental business dynamics should be the same.



I'm sure the FBI is keen to come up with a suitable product offering.


Maybe some IBM consultants can help them sort out their tech business strategy.


Trello?

The only aspect that would stand out to use a "criminal specific" CRM would be hosting & security.


What the fuck is wrong with you.


I think this comment is unnecessarily hostile. OP is not offering to build services; he's just asking. It's a valid question. Did you know ISIS had what amounts to an "HR department" ?

Oh boohoo. Calling out a completely immoral business idea isn’t hostile. It’s moral.


To recycle your phraseology, "what the fuck is wrong with you?"

There are plenty of things that are illegal but not immoral. Sounds like you'd have railed against a steampunk app that helped the Underground Railroad operate, or Jews evade German checkpoints in 1938.

Technology making end-runs around government laws is not, per se, wrong.


Making a software suite to help criminal enterprise (drug dealing, human trafficking, identify theft, etc) is nothing like building the kind of apps you are talking about. I’ve never seen such a long bow drawn on the Orange website before. This must be very embarrassing for you.


> Calling out a completely immoral business idea isn’t hostile. It’s moral.

That’s fine, but it’s not what you seemed to be doing.


Must be hard to keep up in a discussion!
