ACT! by Sage 2009 By Christian Harris, ZDNet UK on 21 April 2009 02:27 PM

ACT! by Sage 2009 delivers improved Outlook integration, better calendar and activity visibility, and enhanced database search capabilities, all of which should help your company to grow sales, save time and reduce operating expenses.

Other neat features include en-masse email attaching (select multiple Outlook emails from different senders and attach them to ACT! contacts), activity scheduling from emails (create ACT! activities within Outlook emails with the contact and regarding/subject line pre-populated) and one-click calendar copying (copy an ACT! calendar to an Outlook calendar quickly from the main ACT! toolbar).

All the database operations in ACT! are handled by Microsoft SQL Server, but you're shielded from it and need hardly be aware that it's there. Up to 10 users can share the same database, with one machine acting as the server and the others as clients.
