Purchase Act 2010
Company: Sage Software Incorporated |
For small companies, or even individuals with the need to track customers, clients and individuals, Act has been the software of choice.
Hands down one of the most powerful of its type, the emphasis is on ease of use.
Sporting a sleeker more contemporary look that its predecessor, the 2010 model is all about integration and ease of use. The most significant overhaul for the program in years, nearly everything about the program is aimed at making it user friendly. The most obvious are the help files and the inclusion of a welcome window that makes accessing and learning features easy.
Fortunately, the changes are significant, but not so radical as to confuse long time users. If you are familiar with the program, the new look retains the feel of the old. Should you be new to the application, it is much much easier to use than ever before.
Offering a plethora of options, Act has always been feature rich. The problem for those new to it, and even long time users is figuring out how to get the most from the program. This time around, Sage has done an excellent of job of helping newbies get a running start.
Taking advantage of social networking, Act 2010 now includes access to Facebook, MySpace, and other sites that you can add making online interaction easier. There is no way to directly link a contact to a specific site, you still need to log in and search for them, however the integration may be much appreciated by those using Web networking tools.
Integration with Outlook, the business email client of choice is tight and to my recollection much better than previous iterations. The Palm O.S. integration is as tight as ever. Another feature, it comes as standard with the program, is an a mass email marketing tool. Although automatically installed, it does require purchase to use this application.
For those considering an upgrade but have their eye aimed at the new Windows 7, the good news is Act works without issue in the new OS from Redmond. One should not run into any problems using the application, and installation on the test system used for this article was without incident.
In an interesting note, Outlook 2007’s own contact management software will not install under Windows 7.
For individuals, businesses and the like seeking an elegant polished solution to contact management, Act 2010 is the way to go.
