Old Red Museum
County Museum Integrates Gift Sales, Admissions, Memberships, and Finances
ISSUE: With no IT solution to build upon, Dallas County's forming Old Red Museum had to extrapolate future data needs for souvenir sales, customer records, donations, admissions, memberships, and social events. Data had to integrate with a comprehensive financial system and reports had to meet tight non-profit standards. Museum-specific solutions proved costly, and melding disparate business systems was risky.
SOLUTION: The integrated solution of Microsoft DynamicsTM Retail Management System (RMS) and Microsoft Dynamics GP provided a central database and the ease of teaching staff many tasks. Initial cost savings were significant and installation and training went fast. Today, transactions and credit card sales are flawless, report and audit power exceeds expectations, and the IT Manager praises his "all-Microsoft stack" and its support.
