Is ACT! 2008 Software
Right for You?

The biggest changes found in ACT! 2008 are:

• Dashboard View (giving you a visual view into your key performance indicators-see the graphic below),
• Field editing in Contact List view (similar to version 6 where you can edit the record in Contact List view), and
• Vista and Office 2007 Compatible.

Top 10 Reasons to Upgrade to ACT! 2008

1. Dashboard - The all-new ACT! Dashboard gives you a visual (and customizable) overview of key performance activity and opportunity indicators of your business.
2. Multiple Contacts/Opportunity - You can associate multiple Contacts per Opportunity (for those committee decisions).
3. Customizable Opportunity Fields - If you own the Premium version of ACT!, you can define the Opportunity 1-8 fields as Date-type fields, if you like.
4. Editing in List View - You can enter and edit data in the Contact List, Group List, or Company List views (similar to the way that you could edit in versions 6 and earlier).
5. Groups and Companies Security - If you own the Premium version, you can assign Limited Access for Groups or Companies (my favorite). Now your users don't have to see all the Groups or Companies that others have created, you can limit what each user sees.
6. Advanced Queries for Groups and Companies - You can create Advanced Queries for Companies and Groups that allow you to do lookups based on company or group field data.
7. Easier lookups for subgroups and divisions - Now you see a tree-view display in the Group/Company selection dialogs, making lookups of subgroups (or divisions) a lot faster.
8. Ability to Create Duplicate Group or Company Names - Now if you want a "Sales" group under Joe and a "Sales" group under Jane, it's no problem.
9. Duplicate Checking - By First and Last Name and also dup checking for Groups and Companies
10. Attach shortcut - You can attach a shortcut to a file on the network instead of attaching the actual file and copying it to the \Attachments folder.
