En chronologie Histoire de Act!

La compagnie « Conductor Software » fut fondée en 1986 à Dallas au Texas par Pat Sullivan et Mike Muhney. Son produit, ACT!, a vu le jour en 1987. Le nom d’origine du logiciel était « Activity Control Technology » puis « Automated Contact Tracking » avant de devenir simplement l’acronyme.

Le nom de la compagnie a par la suite changé pour « Contact Software International », et fut déménagée de son édifice original le « mustang building » à Las Colinas vers un édifice en bordure de « Freeport Parkway » près de l’aéroport de Dallas (DFW). À partir de la version 2006, le nom a été modifié par « ACT! by Sage » pour devenir « Sage ACT! ». En 2013, Swiftpage en a fait l’acquisition et le renomma « Act! ». La version actuelle est Act! v19. Le développement est fait à Scottsdale en Arizona avec des bureaux dans plusieurs pays.
