Act Premium Desktop: Traditional Installed Software

Act Premium Software v25 | Physically Installed Desktop Software

Act Premium software is fundamentally the same as Act Pro software. Under the hood, it is designed to do more. Act Pro is the economy car and Act Premium is the sports car. It is software with benefits. It gives you options to expand and to connect with other software via an API and tools unique to this version of Act.

Act Desktop Benefits

One of the things that I have always found rather interesting about Act software users is that they do not get caught up in the bells and whistles of software. They are rather matter-of-fact individuals.

Act premium is offered as a yearly subscription and that subscription comes with some benefits that Act Pro users will not receive.

Here are some of the things that you get as an Act Software subscriber:

Act software upgrades and updates
Act Marketing Automation: Act’s email marketing tool

The best way for them to keep their business profitable and up-to-date, and not just the makers of Act, and to be able to update their software to the needs of their customers is to offer an annual subscription with recurring revenue.

Swiftpage, the makers of Act are no different.

We are all in business to make a living. As an Act Software Certified Consultant, I feel responsibility to educate you about the potential and possibilities of Act today. What can you do with it? What are you not doing that you should consider doing? I still remember the day when I learned I could send out faxes using Act software and another tool called WinFax. It was an amazing revelation. Software improves every year.

Look Is Your Most Valuable Employee

Act is no different and cheap in comparison to an employee. With Act you can:
