Swiftpage, ACT!'s integrated Email Marketing provider, is now offered as a standard feature within ACT! 2010 and 2011. What does this mean? It means that what used to be a third-party ACT! add-on requiring download and installation is now ready to use right out of the box. And while you may hear it called Sage E-Marketing for ACT! (SEMA) in ACT! 2010 and 2011, trust that it is still the same Swiftpage platform we all know and love.

More importantly, the integration means getting started with your email marketing and automated marketing initiatives is now faster and easier.  Deliver marketing messages directly from your ACT! database then your send data is updated in your database seamlessly.
