Provide a Flexible Alternative to Purchasing ACT Software
Choosing a Contact Management solution is about more than just software. It’s about finding a product and a partner that fit your needs, and your business. Finding that right fit can be a project in itself.
Issue #1: I started my own firm and have used ACT for many years. My assistant needs to be able to access the database and I might possibly want other employees / partner to access in the future. What is the best solution for me now and to grow with?
Issue #2: We are currently running ACT 2011 and have upgraded our Outlook to 2014, thus losing our integration. Soon we will be upgrading our PC's to Windows 2010. I'm not in a position to buy the ACT upgrade software licenses as a 'Capital Purchase', I guess we'll just have to keep doing what we have been doing? Isn't there a better solution for my business?
Issue #3: We need various methosds to work. I want to access my calendar and ACT database information from my PC, iPhone or from anyone else's PC at anytime.

Helping small businesses centralized multiple disconnected databases into one.
Business Growth Challenge #1: Your company has 6 ACT Pro users all with their own database. There is no companywide shared information about prospects, customers and related conversations.
Each of the ACT Pro users are using a different version of ACT for Windows (ACT 2012, 2013 and 2014) on their local PC's. This company doesn't want to have a large capital purchase of software and IT to support the businesse's new growth needs.
To eliminate the headaches and inefficiencies from the multiple disconnected sources of information, a shared centralized database with 24x7x365 access via Internet Browser or Mobile device, effectively organizes and utilized the information needed for long-term company growth.
When moving to the ACT Hosted Premium subscription, the company could better budget overhead with a subscription-based model. As internet bandwidth increases and networks become more robust, stable and secure, more small businesses are choosing to adopt 'cloud based' CRM solutions.

Pricing of Subscription or software capital purchase:
A key concern when considering implementing a CRM system relates to arriving at a dollar amount that represents not only the purchase of the software or subscription but professional services, related hardware and IT costs, the value of time resources and other 'disruptions' involved in changing the working environment.
