Is ACT! 2007 Software Right for You?
Wait... 2007 is old.
Wouldn't you like to read about ACT! 2010 software
instead?
ACT! by Sage 2007 released in early September of 2006. While I don't
advocate updating software purely for the sake of updating, you should
give this version a look...to see if it has some of the features you have
been waiting for. The two biggest changes are a direct link to Outlook
(YEAH!!) and Field-Level Security by user. But there are a few more interesting
features as well. Take a look at my picks for the top 12 reasons to upgrade
from your older ACT! software to this new release.
Sincerely,

President
Top 12 Reasons to Upgrade to ACT! 2007
- Direct Link to Microsoft Outlook® e-mail. No more ACT Email Window interface.
- New menu command (Write, Email from template) to quickly send a form e-mail (with graphics if you like) without going through the e-mail feature.
- Notes, History, Opportunities, Secondary Contacts and Documents now inherit the Contact Access security of the Contact Record. For example, if the Contact is Limited Access, then all their Opportunites will have the same Limited Access. If you don't have rights to see the contact, you won't see their opportunities in Opportunity List view or on the Company record.
- Field Security by user with Full access, Read-Only access, and No Access (Hidden).
- Regulate password usage through a global password policy. You can require employees to change passwords every set number of days, define the compexity required of passwords, and set password re-use limitations to ensure your data is secure
- Define which fields are linked between the Company and the Contact records.
- Last E-mail System field keeps track of your email correspondence
- View multiple notes at once and preview the critical ones using the new split-panel notes feature
- Enhanced query and lookup capabilities (better keyword searches, current lookup indicator displays in the status bar and ability to edit existing queries)
- Scheduled database maintenance (Check and Repair)
- Scheduled syncing of Outook calendars with ACT!
- Speed...I promise...it is so much faster, you can't believe it. Testing shows over 60% faster than 7.0. Calendar views now open faster than version 6.0
Don't Forget ACT! 2007 Training Manuals
We really did write the book. We authored the "Official ACT! Quicky Study Guide" for ACT! 2007 (as well as for ACT! 2006, 2005, 2004 (or 6) and 2000 (or 5). We also have developed courseware modules that you can use for teaching how to better use ACT!. The courseware comes with laminated cheat sheets to help you learn the new features more quickly...or you can buy these reference guides separately, if you like. If you want additional information about our courseware and learning aids, contact us at: 713-661-5200 or email us.
