Migration from ACT! to Salesforce with Dataloader.io

Data loading can be a frustrating, expensive, and time-consuming task, but one that is essential for businesses. The IT landscape has evolved and organizations now call upon numerous third-party applications and services to expedite a number of essential HR, marketing, sales, and finance processes. With this structure rises the need to keep information synchronized throughout the enterprise, and as businesses adopt new applications and services, maintaining an accurate and up to date customer, product, and financial data becomes crucial. Extensive amounts of time and effort are placed on ensuring data is moved from one system or application to another - a task that is often done manually. Not only does this manual method require substantial amounts of time and resources, it leaves quite a bit of room for human error.
