What is Sage Act!?

The Sage Group is a multinational enterprise software company. Sage owned and developed the Act! CRM product line from 2001-2013. In 2004, Sage rebranded the product to ACT! by Sage and 6 years later, to Sage ACT!. In 2013, Sage sold the Act! product line to Swiftpage and the name returned to just “Act!”. For the first time in Act!’s history, it was marketed as “Act!” (not “ACT!”).
