Sage Act 2011 – New Features
New Features in Act 2011
The latest version of Act has been released this month and has just started shipping, so here is an update of the latest features available:
1. Getting Started – The installation and features to get you up and running have been improved, such as the simplified database creation and opportunity to expand it at a later stage. You can also import customer details directly from Microsoft Excel. The new layouts make it much easier for the Act user to navigate the program.
2. Mapping Imports – Fields can now be matched, so importing data is much more logical and faster (i.e. you can match “client name” field to Customers Name”)
3. Integration of MS Outlook – You can now synchronise data from Act and Outlook to keep both contact details and activities in your calendar.
4. Security – The security of who can do what on the software has been improved, so you can limit, for example, who can attach documents to a customer.
5. Mobile Integration – Act Mobile enables users to have access to all critical data from both mobile phones and not just Blackberry. All activities, prior conversations and contact details are available. Essential for those who spend most of their time away from the office.
