Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Tony Holowitz here, and I want to explain how our partnership with Keystroke enables us to offer cloud hosting services for Act. Let’s delve into what this means and how it can benefit you.

Traditional Act Hosting Scenario

In a typical office setup, you might have Act installed on different computers, all networked to a server where the Act data resides. While users work with the database, the actual data usually stays only on the server. This traditional setup has challenges:

• Computer Crashes: Can lead to data loss or disruption.
• Server Maintenance: Expensive to replace or maintain.
• IT Support: Often requires costly IT assistance.

Cloud Hosting as an Alternative

We provide a solution to these challenges by hosting your Act database in the cloud.

How Cloud Hosting Works

1. Professional Management: We handle all the technical details.
2. Reasonable Pricing: Only $120 per person.
3. Data in the Cloud: Securely and conveniently accessible.

Step-by-Step Implementation

1. Upload Your Database: You’ll send us a copy of your Act database.
2. Receive the Remote Database (RDB): We send you back an exact copy, known as an RDB.
3. Treat Your Database as a Rolodex: Continue to work in it but avoid entering new data during this phase.
4. Open and Use the RDB: With some configuration, this will synchronize with our cloud server.

Synchronization Benefits

• Multiple Devices: Keeps your data in sync across desktops, laptops, etc.
• Always Updated: Changes are reflected across all devices, thanks to the cloud.

Onboarding and Support

We understand that setting up cloud hosting might require assistance. That’s why we offer:

• Onboarding Support: We can help you with the configuration.
• Paid Support Options: Available if you need additional help.

Conclusion

Cloud hosting for Act is an efficient and affordable way to manage your Act data. It offers the flexibility to work across multiple devices without worrying about server issues or data loss. If you have any questions or need help getting started, don’t hesitate to reach out to me, Tony Holowitz.

Thank you very much, and have a great day!
