ACT! 2009 Software: Back to Basics

The ACT! management team spent a great deal of time talking with customers over the past year. They have done an amazing thing with this release of ACT!... they had the development team focus on the basics. They didn't spend time on fancy "bells and whistles" that almost no one would use. Instead they produced a product that offers:

• Increased Speed
• Easier and more powerful lookups
• Better Outlook integration
• Easier setup and administration of the product
• and much more.

Take a look below at my picks for the top 13 reasons to upgrade from your older version to this new ACT 2009 software release.

Sincerely,

President

P.S. Since we are one of the largest resellers of ACT! in the nation, we can offer you great pricing (even better than what ACT! is currently offering in their current mailings).

Top (Lucky) 13 Reasons to Upgrade to ACT! 2009
(differences from ACT! 2008)

1. Lookup dialog has been reworked to make it easier... and more powerful.
2. Lookup, Previous expanded so that it now remembers your last 9 lookups.
3. Remember <Multiple Contacts>? It is now replaced with a plus sign and an actual name for any activity or opportunity scheduled with multiple contacts: +Susan Clark
4. Unlimited display of users in any Calendar view. (No more limitation of only 10 users in a Calendar view, but hey, if you try to display 50 users, the calendar may be difficult to read.)
5. One click access to copying the ACT to Outlook calendars (or vice-versa)... or automate the updates. The setup is also easier in the new Setup Assistant.
6. Quick Attach feature in Outlook, quickly attaches any e-mail to the contact in ACT! based on the e-mail address.
7. Create an ACT! activity from an Outlook e-mail message.
8. Determine how your will record history of an e-mail on-the-fly (not just how you set it up in Options).
9. Use rules to attach incoming messages in Outlook.
10. Enhanced administration features, such as Setup Assistant, double-click (idiot-proof) installation of remote databases, ability to exclude attachments from a backup for quicker backups, expanded scheduling options (e.g., sync every 2 hours), and detailed progress bar during synchronization for better troubleshooting.
11. ACT! Scheduler is now available for ACT! by Sage users (not just for Premium users).
12. Desktop and/or Web access at one price. Licensing is user-named base. Want to view your database on the desktop and from your web server? No problem. It's all the same license now.
13. Speed - Launches faster, switch views more quickly, speedier attachment syncs.
