Goldmine through Gold-ACT conversion to ACT!

What Problem Do We Solve?:

Many people want to convert from Goldmine to ACT!, but there has been no easy way to do it, without retyping the data.

The Goldmine.Map file provided inside the ACT! Import feature only brings in the Contact data (and no secondary contacts), without the important activities (calls, meetings, todo's), history, notes, groups, or email addresses.  So, you're only left with basic rolodex information.  "History was history."  But you need to benefit from your many hours of data entry with Goldmine.

Beneath the similar user interfaces of ACT! and Goldmine, are some complex tables, index keys, and data relationships.  ACT! and Goldmine store their contact data in different ways, using differing fields and approaches.  ACT's complex .BLB file is especially challenging to work with, which stores user information, notes, and attachment references. 

For years, Goldmine enjoyed the strategic advantage of being able to almost completely convert data from ACT! - while ACT! was unable to do that in the other direction.   Once an ACT! database was assimilated into Goldmine, there was no way back.   We were the first to find a way to fully convert Goldmine to ACT!

Interact Commerce Corporation's  Goldmine to ACT! conversion is good, but very expensive, and does not get essential information, such as the User who created the contacts, activities, history, or notes.  See our Sage - CIC Conversion Cost Comparison.  MigrateAdmin is a good program, but it does not convert as completely as our process, or for all versions of ACT!.  Plus it takes time to learn this new software for a one-time process.  It may take weeks to realize if anything was not done properly.  By then, you have entered too many details to re-do the conversion.

What is the Best Solution?:

The "Goldmine to ACT Conversion Process" is a series of procedures and programs which convert any Goldmine (2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, FrontOffice, SQL version, etc.) database into any ACT! version format.  We can convert your:

• Contacts' assistants 
• Secondary and 3rd Contacts 
• Activities (Calls, Meetings, and To-Do's)
• History
• Notes
• Groups
• Email addresses
• Links to documents
• Sales/Opportunities
• Email message contents - in ACT! and/or Outlook format
• and more (See enhancements )

Why is Data Conversion best done as a Service rather than a Software utility?

We do conversions every day, and know what details to look for.  There are hundreds of not-so-obvious details.  We have automated and manual Check Lists to cover all the details before we send your finished database.  So we get it done right the first time. 

For the same cost of a utility, you can have an expert do the conversion.  A utility is yet another software you would have to learn, just to use it once.  We realize your time is valuable, and that you need to begin entering details in to your ACT! database right away. 

Because we offer Goldmine to ACT! as a service, we have seen hundreds of Goldmine databases.  We are experienced in a wide variety usages of Goldmine, and can adapt our procedures to your needs.. Programmers who make a "one size fits all" utility have only seen a few different Goldmine databases.  They are not all the same, and we know how to work with the differences

We save you time and money by being experienced Goldmine to ACT! converters since 1992.   You could spend $300 to buy surgical equipment to do it yourself.  Our you can spend the same amount to have an experienced doctor do a "brain transplant" operation of your contact data.
