3 Business Issues Solved with ACT Premium Subscription



Posted by Julie Cooper

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.

3 Business Growth Challenges Solved with ACT Hosted Subscription



Posted by Julie Cooper

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.
