The Tessitura Network Inc., the leading global provider of enterprise software technology, services and learning community for the arts and cultural sector, is pleased to announce that the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) is a new user of Tessitura Software®.
Tessitura Software provides a unified platform for all departments within an organization to manage customer relationships, ticketing, marketing, subscriptions, fundraising, memberships, reporting and Web transactions. According to Jack Rubin, President of Tessitura Network, “Tessitura boosts operating efficiencies and fosters the ability to improve customer service levels as well as to increase revenues. Most other systems rely on a patchwork of solutions that are not fully integrated and do not truly deliver CRM. Tessitura is a single solution that is equally effective at delivering powerful functionality across all functional areas.” Currently, thousands of professionals at arts and cultural organizations rely on Tessitura to better serve their patrons, donors and communities in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States.
After a careful, extensive search, ACMI chose the Tessitura system because it seamlessly integrates a myriad of relationships and tasks for arts and cultural management. A unique institution at the heart of Melbourne's iconic meeting place, Federation Square, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) celebrates, explores and promotes the cultural and creative richness of the moving image in all its forms - film, television and digital culture.
Michael Parry, Head of Media Technology at ACMI, states: "As a world-class cultural and creative organisation, ACMI was seeking a robust and feature rich CRM and Ticketing solution to seamlessly engage our audience and efficiently manage stakeholder relationships. We've chosen Tessitura for its strong core functionalities, support network and proven track record in the Arts and Cultural sector, which gave us the confidence that Tessitura Network will be able to support us in achieving our goals."
In addition to Tessitura Network’s suite of products and services specifically designed for the arts and cultural sector, the non-profit organization provides extensive educational resources and a system for knowledge-sharing among Members that facilitates promoting best business practices.
