Auckland War Memorial Museum joins Tessitura Network to enhance relationships with audiences

Feb. 5, 2011 - PRLog -- DALLAS -- 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 Auckland War Memorial Museum is a new user of Tessitura Software®. 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, the Auckland War Memorial Museum chose the Tessitura system because it seamlessly integrates a myriad of relationships and tasks for arts and cultural management. Established in 1852, the Auckland War Memorial Museum is New Zealand’s first and largest museum and tells the story of New Zealand, its place in the Pacific and its people.

         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.”

         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.
