Protecting your Investment in Business and Office Software
Investment in Software Applications that interface with ACT! simplify your Administrative Procedures and Processing and is an efficient and effective way to improving productivity. You should always ensure that your current investment in application software is protected by applying any new patches and version updates as they occur.
If you use Microsoft Office Products then you should be using versions which are supported by the company. Too many users try to save money by sticking with old versions
that have been declared "obsolete" and are no longer supported. These versions of software have not been designed to work with the later versions of computer operating
systems, nor will they interface efficiently with other versions of software. You seriously jepodise your Business and Personal data by attempting to use olbsolecent software.
Currently, the only Microsoft Office Software you should be using is Office 2003 or higher. Office 2000 is no longer capable of working effectively with newer versions of ACT!
nor, with many other applications. Microsoft Works and Microsoft Outlook Express are no longer supported and will not work with current versions of many applications.
QuickBooks Users should be seriously considering an upgrade to the current QuickBooks Version 2009/10 to take advantage of the new SQL based software that provides
more efficient and faster processing of your accounts. Make sure that the version you select is best suited to your needs. An interface with ACT! 2010 will be available shortly
to enable you to share and manage contact records and accounts details from within ACT!.
MYOB Users are also catered for with an Interface with ACT! 2010.
