Client Profile
The Organization:
The Citadel Theatre is one of the largest not-for-profit theatres in North America, drawing over 130,000 patrons from a large geographic region. Their building features 5 performance spaces and is home to three resident theatre companies: Catalyst Theatre, Rapid Fire Theatre, and Theatre Yes, in addition to creating partnerships with Edmonton theatre and dance companies, including Brian Webb Dance Co. and Firefly Theatre & Circus.
The Challenge:
When the Citadel came to us, they required much more than a typical managed services package. They needed to update the technology powering over 100 employees, implement a new network of digital signage throughout their facility, and introduce a company intranet to aid communications with staff, performers, and partners.
The Solution:
Due to the wide range of challenges the Citadel faced, we took a layered approach, rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
Ticket Solutions – We sourced, installed, and trained the Citadel team on a new ticketing system that interfaced with website ecommerce, on-site printers, and financial systems
Staff Computers / Laptops – We provide desktop and laptop computers and service for over 100 employees
Firewalls & Data Back-ups – We ensure employee data is secure and protected from hacking, phishing, data loss, and hardware failure
Customized Digital Signage – The Citadel team came to us with a challenge: they needed a new system of screens throughout their building to promote new performances, building announcements, and sponsor messaging. We sourced screens and developed a system to manage the screens centrally and within a user-friendly interface.
Day-to-day support – whenever a tech problem arises, our team is on site to help, day-in, day-out.
Mobile App / Light Intranet – The Citadel was looking to implement a company intranet to help communicate messages to employees, share internal events, book amenities, and coordinate company-wide news. We introduced them to our ARC Intercom system which was tailor-made to help groups of people, like organizations or communities, stay on the same page. Once they found out it could also save them thousands of dollars a year over competitive products, they jumped on board immediately!
In the ever-changing world of technology, solutions don’t always come in neat little packages. That’s why we’re here to help you find the best solution for your unique circumstances. We’re proud of our work at The Citadel, and we hope if you’re ever in Edmonton, you check out their excellent productions!
