DENVER, CO — (Marketwired) — 09/10/13 — , a leading provider of integrated marketing and CRM solutions for individuals, small business and mobile sales teams, today announced that is now available for purchase.
Used by millions of professionals throughout its 26-year history, Act! is the #1 best-selling contact and customer manager. Purpose-built for small businesses, it gives users a single, organized way to view and control all of their relationship details, seamlessly interact with productivity and social tools, and leverage integrated emarketing services(1) that take the guesswork out of when, where, and how to engage with prospects and customers.
Swiftpage acquired Act! in March of this year, making a commitment to invest in the product to drive its leadership position in the market. Delivering on that promise, Act! v16 adds extensive new capabilities in direct response to requests from the Act! end-user community. This includes numerous enhancements to the leading-edge mobile capabilities of Act! Premium(2), which are offered at no additional charge to Act! Premium users.
Also in response to feedback, Swiftpage has evolved its product release strategy and will now provide multiple Act! product updates each year, rather than a single upgrade annually. In addition, updates can now be streamed and installed in the background without requiring the user to reinstall the core platform. Act! Business Care subscribers will have immediate access to each new update as it is released, ensuring they have the latest capabilities as quickly as possible.
“Today-s release demonstrates our unwavering commitment to this product and the incredible Act! user community worldwide,” said H. John Oechsle, president and CEO of Swiftpage. “Act! v16 introduces a wide-range of additions and improvements requested by the user community, and will also allow us to accelerate our updates moving forward so we can get new features to users faster. And we-re just getting started. We have several more major Act! announcements planned for the months ahead. So, along with being a significant leap forward in its capabilities, this release also lays the critical foundation for our longer-term strategy and roadmap.”
Features added in Act! v16 are the result of extensive feedback from the Act! user community and ongoing collaboration with Act! beta testers throughout the past year. They primarily fall into the following five categories. For a complete list of features and comprehensive descriptions of each, please visit .
