What Our Customers Say (we like to brag...)

"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."

"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...

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!

John Andrews,
IS Director, MD, USA"

Conversion Specifications for ACT! to BCM Conversions

Feature ACT-To-BCM Services Microsoft Import/CSV/Other
ACT! Versions Supported 2000, 6.0, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. Standard and Premium Unknown. Works with some, fails with most databases.
Standard Contact Data - All standard contact data comes over. When data is corrupted, our software finds the best solution to fix the data.
  • Ownership: Contact ownership and assignment is the same as in ACT!
  • Groups. ACT! Groups are assigned to Categories in BCM.
  • ID/Status. ID status is brought over to the appropriate BCM field.
  • Private Records. We can filter out any private records from being transferred over.
  • Home Addresses. ACT! Home Address in transferred to BCM Home Address.
  • Email Addresses. Up to 10 Email Addresses can be transferred. While BCM only allows 3 emails addresses per contact, any additional email addresses are transferred as user defined fields in BCM. The total number of user defined fields may not exceed 40.
 - Unless you import just the basic data, all other data is ignored. Also, if any corruption exists on your data, the import fails.
  • Ownership: Contact Ownership is lost forever!
  • Groups. ACT! Groups are lost forever.
  • ID/Status. Lost forever.
  • Private Records. No filtering mechanism to exclude private records.
  • Home Addresses. Lost forever.
  • Email Addresses. Only 3. All other email addresses are lost.
ACT! Groups - We take the ACT! group membership of a contact and put that data in the Categories field.

For example, a contact belongs to Group1, Group2->SubGroup3, and Group4->SubGroup5. In BCM, the contact would belong to Categories: Group1, Group2.SubGroup3, Group4.SubGroup5 .

- ACT! Group membership is lost forever
Number of Contacts - We can import an unlimited number of contacts. Our record is over 13,000 records. - If you import more than 800 records, you run out of memory, hence the conversion fails.
Multiple-User ACT! Database - We support multi-user ACT! databases and reflect the user ownership in the following ways:
  • Contacts and Companies. All user ownership is reflected on Assigned field.
  • History/Notes. All user ownership is reflected on the Business Communication History
  • Opportunities. All user ownerships is maintained.
  • Todo's: Each user gets his/hers own Outlook folder with his/hers own todo's
  • Calls: Each user gets his/hers own Outlook folder with his/hers own Calls

 - Multi-User databases not supported. All multi-user ownership and data is lost.
User Contact Data - Up to 40 user-defined fields can be imported.
  • Data Inconsistency. Most user fields have data that should not be there, either by design or by usage. When this happens, our software will overcome the issue and continue the import.
- User defined fields are randomly selected. When inconsistencies occur on these fields, import fails.
  • Data Inconsistency. If any inconsistency is found in the data, the import is abandoned.
Secondary Contacts - All secondary contacts are brought over to the contact's comments section. - Secondary contacts are not converted and lost forever.

  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! 2007/2008/2009/2010.

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