ACT! is a single, central repository for critical contact and customer information captured across your business. It enables you to access detailed contact and customer information, manage calendars and activities, capture all customer communications, track opportunities through the sales process, and report on overall effectiveness.

With ACT! you can track complete customer data, including all contact details, your personal notes and customer history, appointments and vital to-do items, documents, and more. Offering over 60 pre-defined fields for each contact, you can easily sort and track your customers by any number of characteristics. The software even lets you attach documents directly into your customer's account information. If you are in Microsoft Word and Excel, you can easily attach documents and spreadsheets to ACT! contacts so it's easy to quickly locate vital information such as presentations, proposals, and quotes. Advanced customization features let you design your own layouts, and you can move relevant field displays to suit the unique needs of your business.

Stay in Touch and Connected
ACT!'s Contact Record lets you track all of your critical contact and customer communications for quick and easy referencing. With the software's e-mail client integrated with Lotus Notes or Microsoft Outlook Express, or integrated directly with Outlook, you can send outbound e-mails to contacts and create contact history on the Contact Record. ACT!'s Mail Merge feature even allows you to correspond with multiple contacts, either via e-mail or paper correspondence, and automatically tracks a history on each Contact record.

A built-in word processor that supports tables, graphics, HTML and spell checking makes it easy to write letters directly from ACT! You can select a group of contacts and perform a mail merge to a letter or e-mail. Best of all, a history is automatically generated on each contact record every time you send correspondence. With ACT! you'll never lose track of your past correspondence again.

Prioritize Your Work
ACT! can help you stay on top of your deliverables by offering multiple calendar views, including daily and customizable work week views. Calls, meetings, and to-do items can be filtered by priority, date range, or user, and you can display totals for each type of activity. Built-in activity alarms will help you stay on top of all your time-sensitive deliverables, so you'll always be ahead of the game with your contacts. If you rely on communicating with colleagues who are not using ACT!, you can also synchronize your ACT! calendar with their Microsoft Outlook calendar to facilitate appointment scheduling and tasks.

Track Sales Opportunities
ACT! enables you to track sales opportunities from the initial inquiry through the closing to utilize the standard sales process, or you can create a customized process to suit your business. When working an opportunity, simply click follow-up and a new activity will be created automatically with details, thereby ensuring the prospect is managed as it moves through the process. The product list lets you easily enter repeated products or services, and can automatically fill in information such as name, item number, cost, and price. ACT! also gives you the options of choosing from over 20 pre-formatted Sales Reports, or exporting to Microsoft Excel with a single click for further analysis using built-in, customizable pivot tables.

Information on the Go
If you are on the road with your business, you can take your critical contact and customer information with you no matter where you go.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - ACT! has gone downhill fast
Our firm has been using ACT! for over 12 years. It "was" a great product at one time, but it has been trash since they went to the new SQL platform. Slow, cumbersome, hangs, and crashes. The integration with MS OUTLOOK is awful. We have quit trying to use the email integartion with Outlook two years ago.

The software has serious problems, but Sage has had no significant updates or patches to fix them. They want you to buy the newer version in hopes of something better. We tried ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Sage will not refund money.
I have written Sage 3 times in one year for a refund for ACT 2007, which is an awful product. This is warning they will ignore you.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Act 2007 doesn't work with Vista
I had Act 2003 working on 3 computers, then I had to upgrade to 2007 because Sage wouldn't support the older version any more. I had to get a new CPU for one system for the Act 2007 to work on it. Then another system crashed and I had to buy a new one. This one has to have Vista on it because that's what they all come with now. So I get Act installed on the new Vista operating system and find out it doesn't work on Vista, so now, after 1 year of use, I have to upgrade to 2008 for the new system ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - ACT 2007 SOFTWARE
PREFERRED CONTACT MANAGER FOR OUR OFFICE OF SALES REPS, 4TH UPGRADE. HANDLES MULTIPLE USERS WITH ONE DATABASE. WOULD LIKE TO SEE BETTER SUPPORT AND MORE COMPATIBILITY WITH HANDHELDS OF VARIOUS KINDS.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Too much time spent supporting ACT for my users
My experience with ACT comes from the support side, as I provide IT support at my company and provide help for all things ACT. ACT seems to do the job for my users, but it is a nightmare & time-hog from a support perspective. Any upgrade, update, database conversion, or data import I've ever done has resulted in erors and calls to technical support, and this after I've already researched or downloaded step-by-step articles describing how to do it! The Remote Sync takes much time to set up, and ... Read More
