TopSuite products are time-tested add-ons that we acquired and updated last year, and these include Keystroke Designer (custom tables), Dash (reporting), and Alerts (automation). All three have been updated to support...

The truth is they broke Outlook integration with a lot of products, but with Act! this change was causing Act! to crash after users updated their Office.

Many of the products we develop at Keystroke often satisfy an internal need. The thinking is if we find something useful, odds are other people will too. Well, this was very much the inspiration behind our newest product, QuickMeets, the all-in-one Meeting Management system that integrates with Act!. As the business owner, I would typically have...

When we acquired Qsales in May of 2021, we did not plan to change the version sequence of the product.

It's been just over a year, 13 months to be exact, since Keystroke acquired all the addon products from ASDS Computer, and we couldn't be happier with these additions to our portfolio. Funny enough, updating all of them for Act! v24 was easy for us since the original developer, Duane Anderson (our December Employee of the month) has worked for us...

Over the years, many QuickBooks users have used their accounting program for quoting, and it's easy to understand why. The Estimate feature is built into the program, and accepted quotes can be converted to invoices with a single click. I know this because I used to use this feature once myself, and it seemed convenient at the time. The problem is...
