Pre,ium 2011 was created for organizations that need to efficiently share information and keep up with all the details whether in or out of the office.  ACT! Premium for Web was developed to work either as a standalone product or in conjunction with ACT! Premium – giving your organization the freedom to choose how you would like to deploy your CRM solution. 

In a shared database workgroup environment, the ACT! Premium client can be installed on a user’s PC and connected to a database hosted on a separate database server. In this configuration the workload is shared between the user’s PC and a database server.  ACT! Premium for Web is a browser-based application. Users access a centralized Web application server. In ACT! Premium for Web, most of the processing work occurs on the Web application server or the SQL Server (database server).

To support a varying set of user needs (including connected, disconnected, and offline access) and maintain maximum flexibility, organizations can deploy ACT! Premium in a mixed desktop and Web environment. Mixed scenarios provide instant anywhere, anytime access through ACT! Premium for Web, while allowing disconnected/offline access using ACT! Premium for users who need this functionality. Furthermore, in this deployment, both ACT! Premium and ACT! Premium for Web users share a common database and customizations to layouts, reports, and fields, enabling IT to administer and customize one environment and allowing users to choose their access method.  We have white papers for deployment, scalability and security topics.  Learn More...

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY  In a weaker economy, it’s tempting to "wait it out," but consider the cost of doing nothing. ACT! helps you grow your business by attracting new customers and getting more from existing relationships. WHAT'S NEW FOR 2011:

MICROSOFT® OUTLOOK® SYNCHRONIZATION

• Sage ACT! manages all the details of your business relationships and Microsoft Outlook manages emails, basic contact details, and meetings across your team. Now you can have the best of both worlds and share your Outlook and Sage ACT! contacts and calendar using two-way sync.

• Create new Outlook contacts from Sage ACT! and new Sage ACT! contacts from Outlook. It doesn’t matter where your contacts were created or changed, everything will be kept updated in both places. Plus, you have the option to control which contacts are synced back and forth. Don’t worry about duplicates either, because Sage ACT! will attempt to intelligently link contacts between Outlook and Sage ACT!.

• Keep your busy schedule updated in both Outlook and Sage ACT!, no matter where you add or modify activities and meetings. Sage ACT! will help you cut back on meeting conflicts with rules that handle them automatically. And, you can choose which activity types in Sage ACT! sync back to Outlook so that your Outlook calendar remains free of your ACT! to-dos.

SMART TASKS

• These Smart Tasks will set in motion the most basic or advanced processes that allow Sage ACT! to take care of things like reach out to customers that haven’t heard from you in a while or notify you of any sales opportunities that have been stalled. Smart Tasks will even contact customers that are missing key info from their contact records with a survey that automatically plugs that info back into Sage ACT!. And, best of all, you have total control over the timing, contact lists, and opportunities for each Smart Task.

• Apply Smart Tasks right out-of-the-box or make changes to fit your needs. Because Smart Tasks are built on a powerful workflow engine, you can fully customize them with different actions using one of the easier visual designers on the market.
