ACT! 2007 Product Family Differences


Should I be considering ACT! Premium Products?

ACT! 2007 is targeted primarily towards individuals and smaller businesses that require a robust contact and customer management solution for up to 10 networked users. For corporate workgroups and larger sales teams requiring more than 10 users, or some additional opportunity management features, better administration and security capabilities, or need to share centralised data in real time through a Web browser, ACT! Premium for Workgroups/Web should be considered. These products provide:

Flexible deployment options with ACT! by Sage Premium for Workgroups 2007 and ACT! by Sage Premium for Web 2007.

Scalability to accommodate larger workgroups or teams.

Centralized administration and advanced security functions geared towards workgroups and teams.

Automatic database synchronization, maintenance, and backup to ensure up-to-date customer information and database reliability.

Advanced opportunity tracking for more accurate data and better reporting. With customizable Opportunity fields and Drop-down lists.

Group Scheduling for your entire workgroup to increase team efficiency.

Automatic synchronization of ACT! and Outlook calendars so you have current times of important meetings.

What is the difference between ACT! Premium Products EX and ACT! Premium Products ST ?

Act! Premium Workgroups/Web EX uses MS SQL Server 2005 Express edition, Act! Premium Workgroups/Web ST uses MS SQL Server 2005 Standard edition. SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is a scaled down version of Microsoft SQL Server 2005. The SQL engine of SQL Server Express supports 1 CPU, 1 GB RAM and a 4 GB database size.

1 CPU: SQL Server Express can install and run on multiprocessor/multicore machines, but only a single CPU Core is used at any time. This limitation prevents the use of parallel query execution in SQL Server Express.

1 GB RAM: The 1 GB RAM limit is the memory limit available for the buffer pool. The buffer pool is used to store data pages and other information.

4 GB Database Size: The 4 GB database size limit applies only to data files and not to log files. However, there are no limits to the number of databases that can be attached to the server.
