ACT and Office 365 Comapatibility
Office 365 can be a number of things.
It can mean the client has a subscription license to 20xx Microsoft Office. Sage ACT! works with 2010 or 2007 (oh, and 2003).
It can mean it's a cloud based Microsoft Office, if that's the case, Microsoft currently don't allow ANY addons to integrate with it.

At this point, I'm recommending my clients stick with MSO2010.
It's solid and reliable, and importantly, it does integrate with ACT!.
For sync'ing Tasks/Calendar/Contacts with MSO, however, I MUCH prefer to use 123Sync instead of the built in sync, Tom (at 123Sync) has been helpful, and the product has become far more useful and solid. Because it runs on the server, users can't much stuff up, and it runs even if the users machine is not one. The built in ACT! sync only works if the user has ACT! open.

Outlook changes the ItemID on records (it's not globally persistent like ACT!'s UniqueID) ... and this can't be monitored without a lot of code that most corporations wouldn't want running.
As of O365, ACT! connects to Office 2010, which is the desktop interface to O365 ... the web version doesn't have APIs to connect to
123 sync (as men mentioned) will sync to Outlook or Exchange
Handheld Contact will sync directly to mobile platforms - iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry
