asked on

ACT! Contact management - networkable???

Small office needs a common pool of contacts each can see.
 Is ACT! inherently shareable, or does one have to pay for a special "networked"
 version of the program??

Hi low,

Act! is quite networkable, but their website says "You must purchase a licensed copy of ACT! for each workstation."

If you are already using Microsoft Office at your location, Access could do the trick. There is a Contact Management template that you can use. It creates a interface that is similar to Act! You can just put the DB on your "public" drive and a shortcut to it on each users desktop.

There are some that don't love Access but in a small environment it would work well. I would also give the ability to generate reports from the info in your DB. It is very stable and quite user friendly, with Wizards to help you get set up.
