What a relief it
has been to see the software we have had the opportunity to preview
incorporating mobile applications into their systems. We have mainly seen mobile applications being
used to facility ticket sales, so hopefully this can expand to merchandising,
parking, fundraising efforts, and more in the upcoming years! In this article, it states that studies have
shown 38% of smartphone users currently have made a purchase via the use of
their phone. The article goes on to
state that by 2020 “most” people will be using their smartphones to make
purchases. This gives our arts
organizations 8 years to fully develop and exploit various applications to stay
current and competitive in the world of technology. Arts organizations will have to be extra
diligent when working with application architects to ensure adequate
security. But, as this seems to be the
wave of the future, in eight years, perhaps we will have a more secure system
in place!
