Paciolan in the News



		For Immediate Release Paciolan Acquires Fundraising Software from Lutz Software Solutions, LLC Acquisition will help college athletics organizations drive donations and provide high service levels to donors with a comprehensive view of all donor interactions Irvine, CA (June 12, 2006) - Paciolan today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the fundraising software solution from Lutz Software Solutions, LLC, a leading provider of fund development solutions for college athletics organizations. The products acquired include Advantage and DonorNet, which collectively enable college athletics organizations to successfully grow relationships with donors, season ticket holders, and other loyal fans through a comprehensive set of forms, inquiries, and self-service web applications. “Our college athletics clients are faced with balancing the need to drive transactional revenue stemming from ticket, merchandise, and concessions purchases, while managing the demands of donors,” said Dave Butler, CEO of Paciolan. “We are committed to providing industry-leading technology that helps our clients manage both needs through an integrated, Paciolan-branded solution. The combined solution will provide college athletics organizations with a comprehensive view of donors and ticket buyers leading to increased revenue and enhanced patron satisfaction. Furthermore, Lutz’s 18 college athletics clients further solidify Paciolan’s leadership position in the college athletics ticketing and development markets.” Many colleges today require easy access to ticket holder and donor information to ensure that development staffs have the ability to successfully interact with these valued donors. Information available in a single page view such as priority points, personal seat license data, and pledges are key elements to successful interactions. In addition to donor-level information, colleges need top-line campaign, gift, and pledge metrics to continually monitor the development office’s overall success. When combined with the power of Paciolan’s ticketing solution, athletics organizations are poised to have a holistic, comprehensive view of both the donor’s overall experience with the athletics organization and an accurate measurement of annual revenue goals. "The University of Nebraska is ecstatic about Paciolan's acquisition of Lutz's Advantage and DonorNet products," said Paul Meyers, Associate Athletic Director for Development and Ticketing at the University of Nebraska. "As both a Paciolan and Lutz client, I am confident that the marriage of these solutions aligns perfectly with Nebraska’s vision of providing the highest possible levels of service to Nebraska’s season ticket holders and donors.” “We built our solutions around the key customer requirements of development executives who interact with donors on a daily basis and need quick access to accurate information,” said Ron Nebbia, CEO of Lutz Software. “We’re excited about what this acquisition means for our customers given that they will now have the ability to manage all interactions with their athletics organization from a single interface that provides a comprehensive view of not only existing donors, but ticket and merchandise buyers as well. These buyers represent prospective donors that provide the basis for the success of future campaigns.” The newly acquired products are available immediately through Paciolan. Paciolan’s fund raising products will consist of the former Lutz products, now named Fundraiser’s Advantage and Fundraiser’s DonorNet as well as Paciolan’s t.Fund solution.
