Integrating Sage ACT! with Google
Software: Sage ACT! Contact Management
After 5 years of using BlackBerry, I finally changed to Android. My main worry before changing my mobile phone was how to bring my thirteen thousand contacts and calendar from my Sage ACT! to my mobile phone (I did most of my task on the move. I need to email, schedule and update my service report on the go).
One of the methods I tried is synchronizing my Sage ACT! database with my Android via the built-in feature in Sage ACT! – Integrate with Google.
This feature is great as it is able to sync all my contacts (13,702 contacts) to my mobile phone. Besides, my calendar is up to date (both way). When I added a new activity on my mobile phone, it synchronized back to my Sage ACT! data, which my colleagues are able to view it instantly at the office and vice versa.
As a trainer, I need this wireless sync feature. Sage ACT! is our central database to track our Customers, Calendar, Sales Opportunity, Documents (PDF copy of Quotation, Invoices and source documents from client) and Service Reports. My Sales team will schedule for me when there is a free slot available, and this information is then automatically push to my mobile phone (Google Calendar) via either WIFI or mobile network.
Sage ACT! is a great tools for small businesses or workgroup like us, a tool to share contacts, calendar and other information among colleagues.
