Act has received its first update following its sale by Sage to SwiftPage with the release of Act v. 16. The biggest change, however, is to the release schedule. Instead of having a single annual upgrade, the product will now have multiple updates that can be streamed and installed in the background rather than having the user reinstall the core platform. Business Care subscribers get immediate access to each update. Act Premium users also get access to an expanded range of functions via smartphones and tablets. Other enhancements include automatic consolidation of contact details and global activity scheduling and automatic calculations using data from other standard or custom fields There is also a new history view of completed actions. Global activity rescheduling, proactive system alerts and streamlined field and layout configuration have been added.
