SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Sep 11, 2012) - Vendini, the leading cloud based ticketing company in the nation, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Dataflow Workspace, the flagship software product from Dataflow Enterprises, a leading provider of software that manages the logistics of music festivals and other events. The acquisition will create a powerful turnkey solution for promoters who want end-to-end management of customer ticketing and back-office logistics that will save them time and money.
Dataflow's brand and impressive market penetration in the festival arena underscores Vendini's strategic push to form key relationships and provide five-star comprehensive event management. Dataflow is the recognized expert when it comes to helping promoters manage the back-office logistics of an event, such as credentialing, catering, stage equipment, contracts and much more.
"No other ticketing company provides a solution for complete end-to-end management of an event. That's why Vendini is now poised to become an even bigger leader in the industry," said Robby Black, CEO of Dataflow, who with several other former Dataflow employees is joining the Vendini team. "With this move, we are positioned to accelerate our growth and extend into other markets."
Vendini will continue to offer Dataflow for festivals and extend support to Vendini's customers in arts, concerts and sports. Dataflow will also continue to be sold as stand-alone software as well as integrated with the rest of the Vendini system, which is used by thousands of organizations for event promotion, ticket sales and box office management.
