ACT! Provides Data Integration with QuickBooks 2002 Products.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 27, 2001

ACT! Link for QuickBooks Gives Users a Complete View

of Their Customers and Accounts,

from Sales and Pipeline Information to Invoices and Payment Status

Interact Commerce Corporation, the makers of ACT(R)!, the best-selling contact manager, and SalesLogix, the leader in small business and mid-market CRM, today announced the availability of ACT! Link(TM) for use with Intuit's (Nasdaq:INTU) latest versions of its QuickBooks(R) financial management software, QuickBooks Pro 2002 and QuickBooks Premier 2002. ACT! Link for QuickBooks enables information to be updated between the two programs, so that critical data such as sales contacts and invoice status is automatically shared and updated -- thus eliminating the need for duplicate data entry.

"A large majority of our users run their businesses using both ACT! and QuickBooks software. Integrating the two products is a highly requested feature by our small business customers," said Greg Head, general manager ACT! division, Interact Commerce. "Both Intuit and Interact have a history of providing the small business marketplace with easy-to-use software solutions. We are thrilled to offer this solution to our thousands of small business customers."

With ACT! Link for QuickBooks, users can:

-- Ensure the entire organization is working from the same database - Users can
transfer ACT! contacts into QuickBooks Pro 2002 or QuickBooks Premier 2002 with
a single click, saving time by not having to double enter contact information.
In addition, users can create ACT! contacts from their QuickBooks customer and
vendor lists to ensure that everyone in the organization is working from the
same database of customers and vendors. ACT! Link for QuickBooks imports all
customers, vendors and employees data and creates matching records in ACT!. If
a contact's information changes later, users can update the information in both
systems.

-- Have a complete view of the account, from Order to Invoice and More - While
connected to QuickBooks, users can view real time accounting information for
any selected record from within the new ACT! QuickBooks View. Now, ACT! users
can see invoices and sales receipts for customers and purchase order and bills
for vendors from within ACT! without launching a separate application. Users
can view summary information such as Year to Date and Month to Date summaries
and 30, 60, and 90-day agings, as well as regulate who sees specific accounting
information. This gives sales people a complete view of each account at any
given time without having to leave ACT!. In addition, with just a click, ACT!
Link for QuickBooks records transactions in ACT!'s Notes and History for access
to accounting information when users are not connected to their QuickBooks
software.

-- Decrease the time between closing a sale and generating an invoice - When a
sale is closed in ACT! using the Sales and Opportunity tracking feature, ACT!
Link for QuickBooks will transfer invoice information directly to QuickBooks
2002 Pro/Premier products, so an invoice can be generated instantly for
approval and printing. Users no longer have double entry of sales information
so they can focus on selling, not administrative tasks.

"We are thrilled that ACT! has joined the Intuit Developer Network and is enabling data integration between ACT! and our QuickBooks 2002 products," said Esther Kruijver, director of Intuit Developer Network at Intuit. "Our relationship with Interact will help us better meet the specific industry needs of our small business customers."
