C I Corporation, provides the highest quality ACT! consulting, installation, training, and support. We support the products of Sage Software.  C I Corporation is the most experienced ACT! Consulting Company in the Washington, District of Columbia area, successfully serving ACT! users since 1992. CIC is in SwiftPage Software's ACT! Affiliate Program.

Our chief consultant is one of the few who have taken and passed with an A score both the DOS (1992) and Windows (2001) ACT! Certified Consultant (ACC) courses and examinations, in addition to Senior Level Training (1999).  He teaches Advanced Courses for ACCs, including how to use the Software Development Kit (SDK) to completely control ACT! and create AddOns from within Microsoft FoxPro. He is certified by the ACT! Consultants Association (ACTCA) as a Certified ACT Consultant (CAC), ACT Certified Trainer (ACT), and the toughest certification, ACT Certified Professional (ACP).  Recently (November2008) he traveled to CBRE in Chicago to fix a slow and crashing database that even ACT! Technical Support and several ACCs had failed to fix.

Make contact management easy for you to implement: You may want a contact management solution in your company or division but either don’t have the skills internally to undertake the task or cannot spare the personnel from other equally important duties. This is where we can help you, providing a full-service contact management solution for your company.

Knowledge is the basis of ACTion Custom Training.: We can provide training almost ANYWHERE - for one or a few at your office, or up to 18 people at a time in our state-of-the-art computer training lab, conveniently located near the Metro. We offer this training at competitive prices posted on our site.

Basic, Intermediate, or Advanced: Our services encompass everything from a quick recommendation for a company considering a small ACT! network, up to a detailed analysis necessary to pre-plan a nationwide sales force automation solution.

Make sure it's set up right -- the first time! In our experience as ACT! professionals, we have installed ACT! networks for the most demanding of clients and situations. We can work with a system administrator or IT Manager to ensure that your ACT! installation is optimized for your network   We also are very experienced in doing "fix it" work, to get it right after other ACT consultants have tried and failed.
