Onsite Training
When we implement a complete
solution, we include customized user and database
administrator training with the rollout of your new system. We
believe that the technology is merely a tool that enhances your
ability, not a system that replaces it. Database administrators
learn just how easy it can be to maintain the ACT! program. Users
learn how to input and manage their customer data, organize and
automate their daily activities, and meet management requests for
accurate forecasts and reporting.
- Classes
are hands-on, interactive, and engaging.
- We design sessions for
end-user, administrator and management-level attendees.
- Your end-user training sessions are either half-day
or full-day.
- Each session can be designed to the needs
of your users following processes of your organization.
- Training materials - either customized for your
database, or a standard series- are provided for each
attendee.
- Sessions are typically held on site, although
off-site training can be easily arranged.
- Administrator training is in-depth and customized to
suit your implementation. We make you as
self-sufficient as you want to be.
- On-line, instructor-led training is available for remote
users.
- Annual Training Support includes quarterly visits to
refresh your users and access to weekly online Training
Topics.

in Washington, Baltimore, or the Mid-Atlanitc

Online Training
Perfect for remote users and for ACT! for Web and
WiredContact users. Whether you choose to attend a weekly seminar or
would like your remote users to get customized training, using our
WebEx tool will meet your online training need.
How's it work? Once your user registers for a course,
we will send you an e-mail with all the information you'll need to
attend the class, including a link to the Zip City WebEx site where
the training will occur and a phone number for connection to the
class conference call. A few minutes prior to the scheduled class,
click on the link to enter the on-line meeting room, and dial the
conference call number to connect. That is all there is to
it.
During the class, you will see a full-sized
ACT! database screen on your computer, and you'll
watch the instructor maneuver through her ACT!
program as the topic is taught. At various points during
the hour, the instructor may choose to "pass control" of the program
to a student, allowing volunteers to practice the exercises
covered.
Throughout the training, you'll be able to
discuss the topic with the other students and the instructor via the
live conference call. In addition, you'll have the ability to
interact live through your computer. You may choose to ask questions
privately or publicly, and you'll receive instruction on how to
accomplish either.

ACT! User Groups
Zip City is the official sponsor of two ACT! User
Groups. The common thread among all attendees is that they are
ACT! users. Some are long-time fanatics, others are new to
ACT! Some are individual users and others are from large
corporations.
We look at the latest developments in the
ACT! application and find a topic at beginner, intermediate,
and poweruser levels. These sessions are quite
informative regardless of experience and also provide you with a
great networking opportunity.
The participation fee is nominal
($20) to cover food and room fees.
We currently sponsor monthly AUGs from September
through June in:
- Washington DC
- Baltimore,
MD
Call us at
877-ZIP-CITY to get involved now.

joining, schedules, and locations go here.
