 Zip City recognized as Top Three ACT! Certified Consultants Internationally for second year in a row.

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.

Call us at 877-ZIP-CITY to schedule your training in Washington, Baltimore, or the Mid-Atlanitc region, now.  We have trained remote office locations from Maine to Florida to California.  We are mobile and ready to help you where you need it.

 WebEx online training.  The new Ringy Dingy.

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.
