In a release, Ed Fiscella, Artistic Director of Mainstage Center for the Arts in the Greater Philadelphia area, said that, “It’s been revolutionary for us. For the first time, we’re able to have all of our contacts, our donors, our patrons, our ticketing, and our e-mail blasts, even our contracts, in one place where everyone on the staff can access them. For the first time, we’re really working efficiently.”

The YouTube channel form Patron Technology also includes an introduction video by CEO Eugene Carr on the company's world-class PatronManager CRM in addition to excerpts from a number of interviews given by him over network and mainstream broadcast programs.

Danny Feldman, Managing Director of LAByrinth Theater Company in New York said that, “The ability to have an online box office built into your website really changes the way your box office functions. It changes the way you communicate with ticket buyers, it helps you convert them to donors and to regular constituents, and it opens new doors to you, and that’s really invaluable to be able to grow your audience.”

The company launched the PatronManager CRM in 2010 which was developed though a collaborative partnership with salesforce.com and Salesforce Foundation. The CRM system which is a complete cloud-based system has been designed to integrate box office services, fundraising, e-mail marketing, and staff collaboration functions, which makes it easy for business enterprise customers to centralize critical customer information which can then be accessed by the relevant departments.
