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 National Geographic Lectures & Public Programs is a new Member of the Tessitura Network.
National Geographic Lectures & Public Programs joins more than 390 arts, cultural and entertainment organizations worldwide that rely on Tessitura Software® to better serve their patrons, donors and communities, including an increasing number of museums. Tessitura provides a unified platform for all departments within an organization to manage customer relationships, ticketing, marketing, 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 comprehensive solution that is equally effective at powering transactions from all channels, and delivering robust capabilities across all functional areas.”
The National Geographic Society has been inspiring people to care about the planet since 1888. National Geographic Lectures & Public Programs presents concerts, lectures, films, museum exhibitions and engaging family events in the Washington D.C. area, and will be utilizing Tessitura Software for their box office functions as well as customer relationship management. “We are delighted to be joining the Tessitura Network at a time when our public events are more popular than ever,” says Greg McGruder, Vice President, National Geographic, Public Programs.
“We look forward to being part of the Tessitura family and we anticipate forging a stronger relationship with our patrons through the increased functionality that the system provides.”
