Patron Technology, a company offering customer relationship management (CRM), ticketing and e-mail marketing technology, has announced that 2011 was a successful year for the company, with more than 250 clients for PatronManager CRM, the all-in-one cloud-based system that integrates box-office functionality, fundraising, e-mail marketing and staff collaboration.

Eugene Carr, founder and CEO of Patron Technology said, “What continues to energize us as we develop and increase PatronManager CRM’s functionality is the reality of having a system built on the Salesforce.com (News - Alert) platform that offers small and mid-sized organizations technology just as powerful as that used by the biggest arts organizations.”

PatronManager CRM is an affordable application, which provides a centralized data system that is easily accessible to the staff. Developed in partnership with Salesforce.com, PatronManager CRM is designed to increase technological effectiveness of community and culture organizations.

In addition, PatronManager CRM tackles one of the biggest problems that both communities and cultural organizations face over technology – operational information is not integrated and easily accessible. It provides easy management by integration of all key organizational operations such as tickets and subscriptions, donations, correspondence, e-mail marketing, calendars, and daily tasks.

Stephanie Riso, operations director of the Pittsburgh Irish & Classical Theatre, said, “PatronManager CRM, which came highly recommended, finally enables us to consolidate our marketing, development, and ticketing into one place – a critical need for our company. It was brilliant of PatronManager to team up with Salesforce to create a dynamic system which will no doubt propel our 15-year old organization into adulthood.”

Carr pointed out that PatronManager CRM is 100 percent cloud-based system and it’s affordable for the small and midsized arts organizations.

“The speed at which we've continued to sign up clients shows that PatronManager CRM fills a significant need in our industry,” Carr added.
