<I've a (potential) client who uses ACT! but, with around 70,000 customers, finds it very slow. Looking to change> You mentioned that your customer was having trouble using ACT!. I believe some very large companies use it successfully so I suspect that a review of his ACT installation may reveal some fixable bottlenecks. You might be able to suggest fixes that would make you a hero <g>.In any case my brother can give you the straight scoop on how well ACT handles large installations. Good Luck!

The developer obviously claims that his product is better than Goldmine. The product is called Protrack and uses SQL Server to store all information and interfaces directly to Microsoft Outlook. I think the product is developed in VB, but could be wrong on that one. If you are interested, I could put you in touch with the developer.

Any recommendations? I've a (potential) client who uses ACT! but, with around 70,000 customers, finds it very slow. Looking to change. Any one know Goldmine or MS's CRM? Or know another good one?
