Frustrated on converting your ACT! to BCM?

NEWS! Just Received from one of our customers
"We found your web site when we wanted to convert our data from ACT! to BCM. However we decided to go with a competing service that was cheaper than yours. After spending a few hundred dollars and many frustrating hours, all we received was the contact information. No history, attachments, activities, notes or even opportunities! The vendor stated that "your ACT! database is corrupt". We needed all the other details...

NEW! NEW!
Test Conversions!
Provide us with an ACT! database with up to 10 contacts, 10 companies, and history/notes and we will convert it to BCM and provide you with the results.
Click here for more info.

We then contacted ACT-To-BCM.com. To state that the money we paid was well worth the price does not render your service a fair value. What we received was beyond what we expected. All the data came over with the appropriate links in addition to the conversion of ACT! Emails and Documents! Notes, History, Attachments, todos, calls, meetings, user defined fields, email addresses, even the proper ownership of who entered the item in ACT!. And beyond that, Group ownership came over as Outlook Categories.
 All my users are extremely happy with the conversion!

I know I should have gone with ACT-To-BCM.com from the very start. Needless to say, we are never again going to use the cheaper vendor again. I wish I could get a refund!
Tom and crew, keep up your excellent work!

"You guys are fantastic! How did you manage to do something that Microsoft cannot even come close! My sales team started to use BCM the moment the conversion was finished and nobody complained about missing emails or data! Great job! I'll recommend you to everyone that wants this done, anywhere.

Paul Hopkins, Boston, USA"

"Thank you for doing our conversion. It was impressive seeing all the contacts being converted into BCM without loss of data, ownership or files. Even more impressive was not losing ACT! emails and documents. I love having all my user defined fields in BCM. Great job, you made my life so much easier!

Cindy Gonzales, Hollywood, USA"

"I was skeptical when I contacted you to do my data conversion. However, the way you managed to link and convert attachments, documents, emails, and even history ownership, was something that I have never seen accomplished by a 3rd party conversion company. It was obvious that you wrote all the applications you used to perform these great feats. I have 3 more customers that need your conversion and I will be recommending them to you.

David Skinner, London, UK"

"Act-to-BCM.com provided us with the conversion service from ACT! 2005 to Outlook BCM 2007. They performed an effective and efficient customized-to-our-specific-requirements conversion with no down time on our end and no data issues. The conversion was done around our schedule and on time.  They gave us everything that we needed, period.

Ken Sanders, Canada."

Why are our conversion services so great!

100% Guarantee! 100% Confidential!

Our goal is to bring over as much data to BCM as possible. We've created a table below that describes the differences between our conversions and everything else we've seen out there. If your data is import to you, you should contact us.

What does not get converted

  • ACT! Field lists to Outlook Master Lists.

  • Nothing else that we know of...

Why are ACT-To-BCM's Conversions the best?

  • Our conversions match your needs as close as possible. We try to match the ACT! data structure as close to the destination needs as possible.

  • Multi-user ownership of the items is identified and inserted into the subject line in the items being converted for easy, quick perusal.

  • Multi-user support of multiple individual folders for calendars and tasks.

  • Viewing format is easier with the modifications we make to the data being converted.

  • Native mode conversions makes the data fully portable within BCM so that you are not dealing with some extraneous database structure you are trying to import.

  Remote Access Conversion
In many instances, we have clients that cannot partake of their database and send it to us. For these clients, we have our Remote Access Conversion option where we remotely access the PC where the database is installed and perform the conversion on-site. The database never leaves your PC. This is an added option to your conversion and must be purchased in addition to the conversion.

This option is only available for clients using ACT! 2007/2008.

If you didn't see an option above that you'd like to ask about, contact us.
