As the deadline approaches for Business Care renewals (June 30th), we're frequently asked how the new ACT subscription differs from the Business Care subscriptions so many of our customers are used to, and the short answer is "not much".
ACT Subscription is meant to provide a simple, uniform customer experience that bundles many benefits together so that people have the resources and support to get the most out of the program.
That said, there are some differences between the two subscription programs, and consumers should understand what they are before renewing.
Cost:
The costs differences are negligible. Most migrations from Bronze to Bronze, Silver, to Silver, or Gold to Gold represent an increase of only 4-9% depending on the quantity being purchased.
This amount becomes less significant when you consider that last year's Business Care rates were reduced based on the expectation that there would not be an ACT v17 released in 2014. Well it was, and now the prices are simply being restored to their 2013 levels.
Benefits:
What is the migration path for current Act! (non-Business Care) Customers?
Act! v15-v17 users can get access to Loyalty Pricing by calling Act! Sales or their ACC and placing an order for whichever option is best. We suggest leading with the annual subscription, or if they are attached to maintaining license permanence, lead with the Perpetual option. Act! v14 and older customers may call in to place an order (at standard pricing).
What happens to customers on Business Care?
Customers on Business Care are able to continue receiving the benefits of their existing Business Care plan until the existing contract end-date. At time of renewal, they may migrate to one of the new subscription plans- details for which plan is best for which Business Care customer are below. All Business Care customers retain license permanence at no additional cost (therefore, the Perpetual option is unnecessary for this group).
Business Care customers must renew into a new subscription plan within 30 days of the end of their current Business Care contract in order to be able to take advantage of the grandfathered license permanence. Loyalty pricing will be available for a limited time only.
