	Frequently Asked Questions How long does it take? In general, it takes about 1 day to convert all the data. When is the best time to have it done? The best time is for you to provide us with the data by 1pm California Time, and we start work on the conversion right away! How much does it cost? The prices are listed on this web page. Just purchase the conversion and we do the rest. Should I purchase Standard or Advanced conversion? If all you want is the contact data and the history/notes in the contact body text, then the standard conversion should do just fine. However, if you want all the history/notes as separate items in the journal and you have lots of attachments, you should purchase the Advanced conversion. Also, the Advanced conversion will convert all your Company and Opportunities information. How do I get the data to you? Once you purchase, we send you an email with a link to a web page with instructions. Basically, make a backup of your ACT! data and then upload it to a secure area on our site. How long do you keep the data? We keep the data for a period of 1 week. During this week, you must analyze the conversion and contact us if we missed anything. We'll redo the conversion if need be. What is your guarantee? We guarantee that you will be satisfied with the conversion. That means that all the data that you have requested to bring over from ACT! to Outlook will be there. Our job is to make sure that no data is lost in the conversion. How long have you been in business? We have been in business for over 10 years. How many conversions do you do? In general, we do about 5 conversions per week. Do you do custom work? Yes, we do. We have written all the software that we use. We can make this software jump hoops if we have to. We use about 20 different custom applications to do our conversions. Name the challenge, and we can do it. How do I download my conversion? Once your conversion is finished, we put all the data into a .zip file and encrypt it. You are then provided with a link to download the file and a separate email is sent with the key to decrypt your file. How do I add the conversion to Outlook? You use Outlook's Data File Management tool to "mount" the .pst file to Outlook. It appears as a separate folder in Outlook. You can then copy all the data to whatever folder you need. Can I share the conversion? We provide you with a .pst file that you can copy between systems or copy it to an exchange folder if you have to. Do I need a Paypal account to purchase your services? No. You can purchase our services without a Paypal account. When you get the purchase screen, click on the left hand side (shown below) and Paypal will process your credit card like a standard card. We accept Paypal! You can use Paypal to do a straight credit card transaction or you can use your Paypal account to pay! The left hand side is to purchase with a credit card and the right hand side is to purchase using your Paypal account.

What a few of our customers say about our services: "I stumbled upon Tom's service via Google and so I had a bit of healthy skepticism. I was reluctantly switching from Act! 2000 to Outlook. And I'd spent over 10 years highly customizing Act!, including moving, adding and renaming fields. My 5,000ish contacts are truly the life-blood of my business. I have to say that this was a tough conversion. I'm not the most technical person out there and, because my Act! had been so customized, it required multiple conversions. But Tom had guaranteed me that he'd get it right, and he did. More importantly, he was always very responsive -- both on the phone and via email -- throughout the process. It was rare that he took more than a few hours to respond to every email. I appreciate his help and I recommend his service. Richard Hull" "I was referred to this service by one of our consultants and what a great service it is. All the data came over and the response was quick and top notch. Best money I have spent in a while! Jan Murphy, UK"
