When I came on board, the previous development person really used Tessitura as a storage unit and did all the fund raising in Excel and Word.Īnd from a NPO business perspective, once you commit to this software, extraction is basically a blackmail.

However, all organizations can see who has who in their database. This company then went out and sold it's software services to other performance art organizations as far away as Los Angeles. It's a clever use of the software and a business structure. In our town, NPO's had to group together, in one building, where they created a new company that specializes in Tessitura software management. It's confusing, user abusive and extraordinarily expensive. This is a ticketing software with a CRM work-around built in.
