ORLANDO, Fla., June 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The New
York Botanical Garden (NYBG) has entered into a strategic
three-year partnership agreement with accesso Technology Group
plc (AIM:ACSO), the premier technology solutions provider for
attractions and venues worldwide, to implement a multiphase
integration of ticketing, eCommerce and global distribution
systems, set to launch in fall 2019.
A verdant oasis nestled in the heart of the Bronx, NYBG welcomes more than 1 million
visitors on an annual basis. In an environment as competitive as
New York City, cultural
institutions must be nimble enough to respond to ever-changing
consumer trends and behaviors. Knowing the city's unique
competitive landscape, the Botanical Garden required an exceptional
technology partner that would be ready and able to execute on the
company's current and future needs.
Beyond quick adaptation to market demands, NYBG's wide variety
of product offerings – from general admission tickets, to special
events and a host of membership levels – added another layer of
complexity for consideration. Keeping the big picture in mind, NYBG
searched for a provider whose commitment to innovation and
client-driven development would ensure that the Garden retains its
competitive edge for years to come.
"It's an honor to serve as a dedicated partner to an institution
that has such global and historical impact," said Paul Noland, accesso CEO. "With Accesso's
holistic approach to the specific needs of cultural sites and
institutions, we look forward to launching this powerful
integration for this remarkable institution to continue to flourish
in its goal of educating visitors on the natural world and
empowering them to conserve it."
Used in tandem, the accesso Passport®
ticketing platform and accesso SiriuswareSM
software suite provide end-users a seamless, hassle-free
experience, whether they choose to purchase tickets online or at
the gate – all while enabling operators to drive incremental
revenue and gain actionable insights into visitation patterns and
visitor behaviors. Implementation of these solutions will augment
NYBG's capacity to focus on delivering best-in-class experience for
patrons of this urban oasis.
NYBG also plans to utilize accesso's global distribution
platform – Ingresso – to expand its sales reach to
international channels like Reserve with Google, Groupon,
TripAdvisor and more. NYBG will have the power to easily connect to
over 1 billion potential customers around the globe, when and where
they shop, through a single platform optimized for quick,
mobile-based purchasing decisions.

About The New York Botanical Garden
The New York Botanical Garden is an iconic living museum. As an
oasis in this busy metropolis since its founding in 1891, the
Garden is a dynamic, leading New York
City cultural institution.
A National Historic Landmark, this 250-acre site's verdant
landscape supports over one million living plants in extensive
collections. More than one million annual visitors enjoy the Garden
not only for its remarkable diversity of tropical, temperate, and
desert flora, but also for programming ranging from renowned
exhibitions in the Haupt Conservatory to celebrations on Daffodil
Hill.
The Garden is also a major educational institution. Nearly
300,000 people annually—among them Bronx families, schoolchildren, and
teachers—learn about plant science, ecology, and healthful eating
through NYBG's hands-on curriculum-based programming.
Ninety-thousand of those visitors are children from underserved
neighboring communities, while more than 3,000 are teachers from
New York City's public school
system participating in professional development programs that
train them to teach science courses at all grade levels.
NYBG operates one of the world's largest plant research and
conservation programs, with nearly 200 staff members—including 100
Ph.D. scientists—working in the Garden's state-of-the-art molecular
labs as well as in the field, where they lead programs in 49
countries.
