Astor Street Software is pleased to announce the upcoming major update for Box Office in a Box and ADAM, Version 7. Currently in beta testing, this new version will begin shipping in stages, once the beta tests are complete. Those who have a current Support Contract will be receiving the update at no charge. Those who do not have a Support Contract can call or email for pricing information on the update or the cost of reinstating their Support.
While Box Office in a Box and ADAM (Arts Donor Activity Manager) have always shared an integrated, central patron database, Version 7 has merged all box office and donor management functions into a single interface--you no longer have to exit the box office software in order to access donation functions. The combined program has been named smartware.
