What Our Customers
Say
"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"

Local
Conversions
Many of our customers prefer for us to do
the conversion on their local system instead
of converting the data at our site. We can
do that. The cost of a local conversion is
the cost of the conversion plus $175 hour
for the local conversion time.
Weekend
Conversions
We do weekend conversions. You provide us
with the data on a Friday afternoon and we
have it to you by Sunday evening, all
converted.
Here's a couple of items re. weekend
conversions.
-
You need to pre-arrange weekend
conversions so that we have the correct
staff for the conversion.
-
It is your responsibility to get the
data to us by Saturday, 10am. If the
data does not arrive by that time, your
conversion will be delayed until we get
the data.
-
It takes 2-3 days to convert the data.
The sooner you get the data to us, the
faster we will convert.
-
Once you schedule the conversion for the
weekend, you may not cancel it or
reschedule.
-
There is a 35% reschedule fee.
-
ALL ACT! and Attachments data have to be
on our conversion station by 5pm,
Friday, before the weekend. Remember, if
you have a slow DSL and your data is 2
GB, it may take 24 hours to upload it.
-
You must provide us with 2 phone numbers
to call during the weekend in case we
have any questions.
-
Express mail. If your data larger than
1GB,
you can send us the data with courier
and it has to be here by 10am on
Saturday, the latest. We provide you
with the address at the time of
purchase.
Just click on the weekend purchase button.
Why are ACT-To-BCM's

multiple individual folders for calendars and tasks.
