Enter Bill Pierce, with over 20 years of national recruiting experience in medical-device sales and sales management. Bill utilizes Act! CRM within a Windows virtual machine using Parallels Desktop for Mac.
In Bill’s own (awesome) words:
“Here’s the thing…
I was always handcuffed to a Windows computer because I used Sage Act! as my CRM for the contacts in my business. I was so fed up with Microsoft and Windows and wanted to go to an iMac for my business applications but the fact that Sage Act! only worked in a Windows environment always seemed to hold me back. About three years ago, Sage offered a cloud-based Sage Act! application for $30/month that would allow me to access my information via my iMac, so I made the switch to an iMac versus Windows OS and I have never looked back.

However, the fact that I was still having to pay $30/month for the cloud-based version of Sage Act! always bothered me. I was paying $360 annually to access my own information, which made no sense to me. That is when I began to look for a way to run my Windows program on my iMac in a way that was user-friendly and wouldn’t require me to constantly reboot my computer, and that is when I discovered Parallel Desktop would allow me to do just that. I have been extremely pleased with the results since downloading Parallels and I have never looked back. Your software rocks and Sage Act! works perfectly!”
