Access Act database from external web application(asp.net)

[skuem]

Hi,

We've got customers who have subscribed to both our company and Act, and they want our application(asp.net) to integrate with their Act database to push and pull their contacts and histories. I found something for Act SDK but not so sure whether this is achievable.

It's certainly achievable, how you go about accomplishing it however will depend on your goals and requirements.

Here are a few threads on similar topics, if you have additional questions don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks Matthew, we don't want any programming work on client side, which means our application should be able to access client's Act database using only their username / password or keys if neccessary but our company has no access to their Act database or padfile, is this still achievable? if so what will be the requirements to achieve this for us? for example, do we need to subscribe to Act?
