COSTA MESA, CA and WASHINGTON, DC and SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - April 22, 2008) - Web
2.0 Expo - Tickets.com, the leading
provider of integrated ticketing solutions, and Cynergy Systems, Inc., the global
leader in Rich Internet Application (RIA) design and development, have
announced today the result of their collaboration and ongoing partnership
to advance the ticketing experience by using the latest RIA technologies.
The joint effort has produced a sophisticated, interactive seat map RIA
interface, a key feature of ProVenue®, the new full-service, enterprise
ticketing software platform developed by Tickets.com launched in January
2008. As a result, Tickets.com has enhanced the ticketing process through
greatly simplified transactions and better seat inventory management -- all
in a user-friendly, visually appealing environment.
Brett Michalak, CIO, Tickets.com, said, "Tickets.com prides itself on its
reputation for providing industry-leading technology that helps venues
deliver an exceptional ticket-buying experience for their respective
customers. RIA technology is no exception. As the global leader and given
its deep expertise within the RIA space, Cynergy was the ideal choice with
whom to collaborate on the development of the interactive seat mapping
application interface. We believe this revolutionary feature will add
significant value and improve the overall ticketing experience for our
venues and their customers alike."
Dave Wolf, Vice President, Cynergy, commented, "The possibilities for rich
Internet applications are endless. Our work with Tickets.com demonstrates
the multiple benefits RIAs deliver -- from simplifying the ticket purchase
transaction to helping box office staff build richer, more rewarding
customer relationships. As a result, ticket buyers will repeatedly return
to ProVenue-equipped venues with the confidence that the buying experience
will be informative and satisfying."
