Sage ACT

Sage ACT

Didn't find your answer?

Can ayone help me. We are about to purchase this programme and are concerned about the collection of data from various sources. I am aware that it is supposed to integrate with Line 50 seamlessly (according to sage that is!), but we need to import data from Outlook (especially the calendar) for up to seven users. Would anyone be willing to speak to me about installation, integration or any other issues they have had?

Thank you
Thanks very much. I have downloaded a trial version and managed to import the data from Outlook, but it looks as if I am going to have to pay Sage to export all the info from Line 50.

ACT! 2009
Hi matthew,

We've recently installed ACT! 2009, however we are not integrating with our accounts package at this stage (our business is the development of construction accounting software so we use this for our own company accounts).

We have imported c. 5000 records which orginated from an Access database and were imported as .csv files. The implementation and import process was very straightforward (we did this all ourselves without paying their additional implementation charges) and we have been able to import all the information we previously held without losing any information.

We have set ACT! up to be integrated with our Outlook calendar and so far have found that this works well. The only thing i would say about this though is that the integration between ACT! and Outlook does seem memory hungry and it has slowed our computers down quite noticeably!

We have 5 users on the system and have been live for about a month. Whilst it is still early days we have managed to get up and running quickly on the system with no training. I have found the ACT! users forum (http://community.act.com/sage/) very useful to quickly look up how to do things and ask questions of other users. Overall I am very pleased with the product. If you would like to ask me anything specific about my experience so far please feel free to give me a call on 01403 230000.
