BTW: If using Outlook 2007, you really should look at ACT! 2009 which integrates much better with Outlook than ACT! 2007<br />

We currently use Act! 2007 as our contact manager. We are reevaluating using Act! vs Outlook with BCM. How does outlook with BCM compare to Act! as far as functionality, usability, and ease of use. We currently have outlook 2007 and are wondering if it would be a better solution. Please let me know what you think<br />

Act! vs Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manage

Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager from Microsoft, available as a part of the Microsoft Office suite. Although often used mainly as an email application, it also includes a calendar, task manager, contact manager, note-taker, journal, and web browser.

Outlook

Act! (previously known as Sage ACT!) is a customer relationship management (CRM) software application which is used to keep track of client and prospect details in a single database that can be shared by multiple users. Act! features include contact, company and opportunity management, a calendar, communication tools, the ability to track prospective customers, "dashboards", reports, and the ability to synchronize data from other applications or other Act! users over the web.

A contact manager in its most basic form is a software program that enables users to easily store and find contact information, such as names, addresses and telephone numbers. Sophisticated contact managers provide calendar sharing features and allow several people in a company to access the same database. Some contact management systems have evolved into customer relationship management (CRM) systems to analyze and plan for an organization’s interaction with current and future customers.
