Technology Vision Statement
Arts/Boston will be at the forefront of technological advances for audience development organizations throughout New England as well as the entire country. Our rise from the technological Stone Age will serve as a model for arts organizations everywhere that wish to pull themselves out of an outdated hardware quagmire.
Why Technology Is Important To Mission
A Technology Plan will help the Arts/Boston staff use our time to benefit the organization and carry out our mission, rather than dealing with antiquated technology. Staff can spend two hours working on promoting our new web site rather than fixing an old computer. Also, as an arts service organization, we need to be a leader in all aspects of audience development-including emerging technology. Clearly, the technology we currently have does not set a good example. What Arts/Boston learns with a Technology Plan, we can pass on to 165 performing arts organizations, providing a local model for the integration of technology into daily operations. Also, with an effective technology system, intra-office communication (including the satellite BosTix booths) will improve, as will our ability to communicate effectively with our performing arts groups, members of the public and our funders.
