goldmine dbase 6.7 to BCM3 Ed Marmon <unlisted[ at ].com.com> 4/13/2007 2:37:40 PM There's lots of mentions of Act! guys trying to move over to BCM and there's an import routine for that, esp. detailed in the latest BCM blog post. But what about people with Goldmine Business Contact Manager, esp. the dbase version 6.7 which has been discontinued, and you're gonna get a lot of defections from disgruntled customers. Goldmine can sync contacts ( basic fields ) with outlook contacts, so I did that and just dragged the contacts over to BCM contacts, and it ( slowly ) converted them. But what about all my histories that are a many-to-one relationship with the contacts? Is there no Goldmine dbase import template planned? Thanks

I remember the explanation for droppping it being that most Goldmine users are medium size businesses and BCM is not powerful enough to support those--in v1 BCM only supported single user databases. MSCRM may support Goldmine import.
