I am not sure what options are out there for act! 8 export, but if you
have
an option to export your Act! data as a comma separated value file, or
csv,
you can import that into bcm. Or, if act! 8 can export it to a previous
version of act!.

What we've seen is that BCM will import an ACT! 7, 8, or 9 database but
you've got to have both ACT! and BCM on the same PC, and the version of ACT!
and the ACT! database have to be the same version. There were some bugs in
ACT! where your db schema was a different version than the software. You
can use ACTDIAG to check all that out.
HTH,
