I’ve worked with MicroCadd for more than 20 years, starting back in the days of Act! 6.0. Over time, it became clear that they had simply outgrown Act!—and for good reason:
-
They needed to track transactions in multiple currencies.
-
They operated across numerous locations.
-
Their team included both English and Spanish speakers, requiring a CRM that could easily accommodate both.
-
They wanted to automate workflows for their 65 employees.
-
Along with Act! and QuickBooks, they were paying for several other back-office tools.
-
Ultimately, they wanted to consolidate everything into a single, integrated system.
That’s where Zoho One came in—and it turned out to be the perfect fit.
At $444 per user per year, Zoho One was actually less expensive than Act!’s “cloud/sync” option, which cost $480 per user per year and still didn’t offer the integrations MicroCadd needed. To make things worse, adding Act! Custom Tables for tracking their training sessions would have pushed costs to $600 per user per year.
When you also factor in the savings from replacing their other tools like eMarketing and QuickBooks, the switch to Zoho One delivered massive cost savings—and best of all, 100% of their Act! data transferred seamlessly into Zoho CRM.
