CompanionLink Makes Syncing Sage ACT! with Android Simple

PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CompanionLink^® Software is a leader in Sage ACT! mobile solutions and the recipient of the Sage Gold Development Partner of the Year for 2011 award. CompanionLink’s PC software syncs ACT! contacts, calendar activities, to-dos, notes, histories and opportunities to the company’s Android^™ mobile app, DejaOffice. The app is currently available for free on the Android Market.

Using CompanionLink to sync ACT! to DejaOffice on Android, the following ACT! features are available to people on their devices:

+ Category management that synchronizes with ACT! Groups

+ Ability to store over 40,000 ACT! contact records

+ Unlimited characters in ACT! notes and history items

+ Linking ACT! contacts with calendar activities

+ Alerts and notifications for calendar events

+ Advanced sorting and grouping options

+ Custom field labels

CompanionLink offers four ways to sync ACT! data to Android:

1. The Direct USB sync method uses the cable that comes with your Android device. This method is ideal for people looking for a wired and completely secure sync solution.
2. Local Wi-Fi sync uses a home or office Wi-Fi network to sync ACT! data wirelessly to devices. This method is ideal for those looking for a wireless and in-network sync solution. Since the exchange of data occurs within the local Wi-Fi network, data is never exposed to the public.
3. Secure Hosted Wireless sync is the most robust sync method. It transfers data over the air using AES 256-bit encryption via CompanionLink’s secure hosted servers. This is ideal for people looking for a secure wireless sync connection regardless of whether they are in or out of the office.
4. The Sync via Google^® method uses a Google, Gmail^®, or Google Apps account to mediate the transfer of basic contact and calendar data. CompanionLink syncs ACT! to the Google account, which then wirelessly syncs with Android devices.

Together, CompanionLink and DejaOffice enhance mobile productivity by keeping ACT! data available and synchronized on Android devices. CompanionLink has a long history of ACT! compatibility, dating as far back as ACT! 4.0. The company is dedicated to supporting people using ACT! to manage customers.
