ATLANTA, GA. – November 1, 2011 – The Active Network, Inc. (NYSE: ACTV), the leading provider of organization-based cloud computing applications, today announced at the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) Congress and Exposition that its recreation management software products currently powers 60 of the top 100 cities1 in North America. With successful implementations in diverse cities such as Anchorage, Boston, Chicago, Honolulu, Houston, New York, Phoenix, San Diego, Seattle, Toronto and Vancouver – Active Network helps city recreation managers automate manual processes, gain greater efficiencies in facility management, and grow their revenues.
"After a thorough analysis of all software contenders, we selected Active Network’s online technology for its ease-of-use, improved interface and streamlined payment technology," said Melissa Shaw, project manager, Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board.
"Our technology helps cities large and small transform older, legacy computing systems into progressive and responsive solutions that best serve the public," said Matt Ehrlichman, chief strategy officer of Active Network. "We provide recreation managers with the flexible tools they need to better manage city facilities while keeping their citizens actively engaged within their communities. We have proven time and time again that our solutions reduce operating expenses and increase revenues for cities."
The company recently signed a deal with the City of Atlanta’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs, this year’s NRPA Expo host, to automate its service offerings. “We chose Active Network as our preferred technology partner to manage our reservations, registrations and memberships due to its proven track record in helping cities centralize information and gain greater oversight and management of critical processes,” said George Dusenbury, Commissioner for the Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs. "We’re looking forward to working with Active Network to streamline our facility management, program registrations and memberships, and thereby drive greater value to the public we serve."
