As an Act! user, you know the value of a great CRM. But did you know that Act! Premium products also include integrated email marketing? Do you send your customers contract renewals, appointment reminders, quotes, or newsletters? With Act! Marketing Automation, you can automate those communications right from Act! and directly from your database. You will no longer need to use a 3rd party email marketing product, such as Constant Contact or Mail Chimp, because Act! Premium has it built in.
No matter which Act! CRM system is selected, if you have a version of Act! Pro, Swiftpage Act!, Act! Premium or Act! Premium for Workgroups your data should smoothly upgrade. As well as other previous products from Sage Software such as Act by Sage, Sage Act Pro, Act by Sage Premium, Sage Act Premium, Sage Premium for Workgroups or Sage Act Workgroups.
Act 2004, Act v6, Act v5, or Act v4 versions will require technical work to upgrade the data. Service fees will be extra on top of the Act! software subscription cost.
