Scottsdale-based Act!, a leading customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing automation solution for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), announced it has joined the Small Business Digital Alliance (SBDA), the public-private co-sponsorship between the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and Business Forward, Inc, as a local ally. The Alliance, which focuses on connecting small business leaders with the tools and resources needed to start, expand, and scale businesses to success, aligns with Act!’s mission of empowering small businesses to market better, sell more, and create customers for life.

The SBDA brings together major players, influencers, and companies in tech, e-commerce, benefits, and other industries to help connect small businesses with digital tools, training resources, and expanded opportunities to grow their digital networks to reach new customers. As a local ally, Act! will have the opportunity to connect with small business leaders, corporate executives, and ecosystem partners in support of small businesses and provide its own resources to Act!’s networks.

“By joining the SBDA as a local ally, we are creating meaningful connections and providing resources, tools, and best practices to help small businesses be successful,” says Steve Oriola, CEO of Act!. “We are proud to align ourselves with an organization that is meeting small businesses where they are and providing them with the tools they need to improve business outcomes, broaden their networks, and drive economic development.”
