The Active Network (NYSE:ACTV), is the leading provider for organization-based cloud computing applications. The company is the largest online registration platform for customer groups such as business and community events as well as sporting and outdoor activities. The Active Network's primary revenue model is based on collecting technology fees paid by clients that run the proprietary technology platform to streamline online registration processes. The company's software allows participant companies to automate previously manual or low-tech processes with cloud computing technology. [1]
As activity and online event registration continues to grow, companies often find themselves entrenched with previously inefficient customer interface platforms. In order to upgrade technology platforms, companies lack the core competencies to create low-cost, reliable platforms that can handle the large amounts of data-input required to support their activities. These sorts of cloud computing applications provide an operationally efficient solution, manage participant and activity information, communicate real-time with event participants, and provide efficient marketing channels for this growing demand for online event registration platforms.
