iPad, iPhone, and Tablet Users Will Love ACT! 2012′s Best Kept Secret

ACT! Premium Mobile on iPad and iPhone

ACT! Premium Mobile

The Secret is Out!

Yesterday, Sage officially released Service Pack 2 for ACT! 2012 Premium and with it comes ACT! Premium Mobile, which in my opinion is the best feature of ACT! 2012, even though it’s being released 7 months after ACT! 2012 came out.

It’s actually such a great feature that Sage is saving the fanfare for September, when ACT! 2013 comes out, but it’s available to ACT! 2012 Premium customers today in the ACT! Downloads Center.

So what is ACT! Premium Mobile?

  • Live access to Contacts, Calendar, Notes, and History (read: no sync or sync problems)
  • Works on iPad, iPhone, Android, and PlayBook (or any HTML5 compliant browser, even on a PC or Mac)
  • Installs on your server, so there are no monthly or annual fees from Sage

You can see a live demo by following this link from your PC, or ideally give it a go on your mobile device. Log in as “Chris Huffman” with no password:

or see it in action here on our YouTube channel:

There is no additional cost for the software, simply some configuration which you can do yourself or you can hire an ACT! Certified Consultant to get this done for you.

Try the demo above and/or check out our five minute YouTube video then post your thoughts in the comments below.

What’s New in Sage ACT! from 2005 to 2012

What's NewWe recently had our ACT! 2012 Virtual Road Show and talked about the major new features in the latest release of Sage’s contact management software, Sage ACT! 2012. While this material was relevant to most of our attendees, what many also wanted to know is what’s new since their particular version, as there are still a lot of businesses out there using ACT! 2006, 2007, etc.

Using a KB article that covers what’s new in each release up to ACT! 2011, I pulled together what I consider to be the top 3 new features in each release from 2005 – 2012. Check out the video (a little long at 16 minutes, but averages < 2 minutes per version) or just check out the list below. You might be surprised by features you didn’t know exist! [Read more...]

Still have questions about ACT! 2012?  Post ‘em in the comments, or contact us and be sure to keep an eye out for our next post about a version-by-version overview of the best things to happen to ACT! over the last 8 releases.
