Durkin Computing

Durkin Computing was formed in 2006 when Mr. Durkin saw the need to add-on to ACT!. A conversation with Jim Durkin founder of Durkin Computing How did you get started with ACT!? I personally have been creating custom software for 20+ years in several industries. In one of my early ventures, I heavily customized ACT! for our in-house sales team. Even though I did not create a resalable add-on at that time I did utilize the Software Developers Kit (SDK). What excites you about ACT!? I like the idea that I can take something that works for so many and make it better. It’s very rewarding when I hear a user of a Durkin Computing add-on get excited about a feature I developed. It’s that excitement that drives me to keep working on ACT! As a developer I love the .Net technology ACT! is built on. Today if you type “.NET” into Google you get back 3,770,000,000 hits! .Net is everywhere and new technology pours into it every day from programmers around the world. What value do you see ACT! add-on developers bringing to businesses using ACT!? ACT! is a great product but ACT add-ons developers make that product even better. My add-ons allow users to quickly access relevant data, capture critical business information, and eloquently display and report on that data to make better decisions faster.
