Is it difficult to switch from Act-on to another MAP if need be?

I am glad that you are considering Act-On for Marketing Automation! Act-On embraces an open technology ecosystem; we have a plug & play strategy. We don't make you run your website on our system or blog on our platform or use a specific CRM, we give you the flexibility to use the applications you want or are already using across the organization. This ultimately reduces the complexity if you were to switch from Act-On to another MA vendor. Therefore, it would be less complicated to replace Act-On than any other MA vendor on the market. The difficulty question should really be posed to the vendor you plan to switch to. You will want to ask them how complex their implementation is and what do they provide as far as pro-serv or support to new customers on-boarding? I can speak for Act-On - we provide support for on-boarding and help with implementation, so if someone switches to Act-On we can assist with list and asset uploads and make it seamless to go from another system to ours. Please note that Act-On is designed to scale with your company's future growth and we will continue to innovate and provide the capabilities you need for effective online marketing. So, hopefully you find success with our platform and allow us to grow with your company.
