Follow on Google News | UK Museums adopt Priava Cloud for more effective venue managmentBy: Priava London, 4th June 2014 – Priava (www.priava.com) The Priava Venue booking system incorporates all the complexities involved with multi-venue availability, including event logistics, catering, equipment and resource requirements. Offered in the cloud as a service, it enables venue managers to chart and plan future venue availability and review both customer history and ongoing operational trends in real time. Stacey Hammond, Head of Business Development at National Museums Liverpool Trading Limited who will use the product across six of its venues said: “We have seen a significant growth in our corporate hospitality and events business over the last few years. To ensure we can continue this growth we need to utilise our unique spaces and the commercial facilities we have in the most cost-effective and efficient manner possible. Deploying the Priava solution will assist this objective by enabling us to increase our bookings, and obtain highly valuable business intelligence on booking trends so we can focus on growing our product offer and focus on those events that produce the best return in terms of revenue and occupancy.” The National Museums of Liverpool include: International Slavery Museum (www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/ Giles Gould, Head of Commercial Services at The National Museum of The Royal Navy said, “After a successful trial period we have rolled out the Priava solution to five of our museums which include; The National Museum Portsmouth (www.royalnavalmuseum.org) He adds, “We were very impressed with the cloud-based offering as it now eliminates double bookings, enables us to work on multiple events at the same time, rapidly locate any event, contact or account record, manage calendars, and review confirmed events. Furthermore it is easy to use and affordable and therefore made very good commercial sense.” Daniel Cole, EMEA General Manager at Priava, said, “We are delighted that two of the UK’s most recognised museums have decided to deploy Priava to effectively support their venue management processes. With the challenges of budget cuts, museums are under increasing pressure to increase revenues from their facilities and with Priava, venue managers have an easy-to-use tool that gives them instant access to existing and future bookings and events, full tracking and reporting and more effective conversion of enquiries. We look forward to working with both organisations to support and maximise occupancy levels and returns at their unique and varied portfolio of venues.” According to the Museums Association, it is estimated that there are around 2,500 museums in the UK and research carried out in 2013 found that 52% of adults living in England made at least one museum visit in the previous year.
