Jacob’s Pillow Dance, 220-acre National Historic Landmark and home to America’s longest-running international dance festival, chooses PatronManager CRM to meet its ticketing, fundraising, and marketing goals for the future.
New York, New York – July 16, 2014
Patron Technology Founder and CEO Eugene Carr announced today that Jacob’s Pillow Dance has become the 500th client to join its roster of arts and not-for-profit organizations in the United States and Canada using PatronManager CRM, its integrated ticketing, fundraising and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system built on the salesforce.com platform.
“We are thrilled to be welcoming Jacob’s Pillow, one of the nation’s leading dance institutions, to our quickly growing client base,” said Carr. “With the signing of our 500th contract in just four years, PatronManager has validated that the future of the arts is ticketing, fundraising, and marketing built within an integrated CRM platform. Single purpose and client server-based systems are obsolete; the future is cloud-based solutions that enable organizations to build a true 360-degree view of their patrons on one system.”
Connie Chin, General Manager of Jacob’s Pillow, said, “We chose PatronManager after a multi-year search because we found it to be the most forward-thinking and cutting-edge integrated data solution available for the arts today. Because Patron Technology built PatronManager on the salesforce.com platform, we can stay on top of the latest, fast-changing technology innovations at the same pace as Fortune 500 companies do.”
