Deployment Options for Your ACT! Application
Sage ACT! enables an organization to configure a contact and customer management solution based on the organization’s needs, whether users require online, offline, or a combination of access methods.
The key to a successful Sage ACT! deployment is to provide the optimum access method(s) corresponding to the user needs in the organization. Let's explores various deployment scenarios possible with Sage ACT!.
Choosing Your Deployment Model
The first stage in installing Sage ACT! is deciding what method of access you will be using. Sage ACT! Pro allows you to setup single user databases and share them over the local network in real time, install on a Terminal Server for remote access, or setup synchronization for disconnected remote use. In addition, Sage ACT! Premium also offers you the ability to view your data over the internet using Internet Explorer® or Firefox®.
A successful deployment may consist of several of these models. For example, you can setup synchronization and publish a remote database using Sage ACT! Premium (access via web). This will give a remote office access to the database while only installing Sage ACT! on one machine. Or you could install Sage ACT! Premium (access via web) on your synchronization server for an additional method of access.
This is a complicated deployment combining several types of access. If you have any questions regarding which deployment model would best suit your needs please contact a MIS-Services Sales Representative and we’ll be sure to put you on the right track. Before you start is the best time to plan your deployment
