Datapac has renewed its sponsorship deal with Wexford Festival Trust valued at €75,000 over three years. As the Festival’s exclusive IT and telecommunications partner since 2008, Datapac is upgrading existing IT infrastructures and delivering additional new technologies to support the planned growth of both the Festival and House.
The Wexford Festival Trust produces Wexford Festival Opera, one of Ireland’s longest established and most recognised arts and cultural events. Its upcoming festival will take place from 21 October to 1 November in Wexford Opera House. Ticket sales are expected to be in excess of 20,000.
The National Opera House also hosts a year-round programme of live performances including opera, theatre, comedy, music and family events.
The new solution includes an upgraded unified communications system which allows staff and clients to communicate effectively from multiple device and locations. It also encompasses an upgrade of all software and hardware including point-of-sale technologies which enables the House and Festival organisers to easily manage growing levels of bookings. In addition, Datapac has implemented a new IT security solution to ensure complete protection for all users at all times, and it provides proactive managed support of the entire infrastructure from its Network Operations Centre in Enniscorthy.
David McLoughlin, chief executive, Wexford Festival Trust, said: “Datapac provides us with a fantastic platform which underpins our ambitious growth plans, including a launch of more sophisticated sales and marketing initiatives which aim to boost Festival and House attendance numbers even further. We’ve a long and successful partnership in place with Datapac and it’s great to have a local technology partner that supports us every step of the way.”
Karen O’Connor, general manager of service delivery for Datapac, said: “We’re delighted to be reconfirmed as the exclusive technology partner for Wexford Festival Trust for the next three years. It’s a hugely exciting time as both the Festival and Opera House continue to set new heights in terms of facilities, tickets sales, productions and nurturing talent. We’re pleased that our investment in technologies and managed services will play a big part in their ongoing success.”
