My department recently upgraded to ACT! 10.0. We were using 6.0 for 3 years previously and not using it correctly. Once the new software was installed, data was merged from about 45 databases. No one supervised this merge and we now have over 6,000 duplicates when I scan based on company name alone, 711 when I add contact name into the scan criteria, and 5,218 with contact name alone.
Most of these are actual duplicates. Does anyone have any tips on how I can merge these in the fastest way possible? If I go through these 2 at a time (Tools -> Copy/Move contact data...), it will take me a full week. I am willing to sacrifice a few contacts in this action. We have over 40,000 in the database and many have never been reached before.
Thank you in advance for any advice you have that can help.
