2. ABOUT
Formed in 1986, Artifax Software originally specialised in
software for artists’ managers called ARTIFAX (ARTi
filoFAX), later renamed ArtifaxAgent. This was adopted by
most of the leading artists’ managers in the UK and
subsequently in Europe, the USA and the Far East..
Soon afterwards, development began on a new product for
room booking and resource management for the Wigmore
Hall in London and the Grieghallen in Norway. ShowRoom,
now ArtifaxEvent, became accepted as the industry
standard for performing arts centres, used by the Barbican
and the Royal Festival Hall, as well as many other concert
halls worldwide. National museums, galleries, theatres,
cathedrals, government and local authority buildings all
rapidly adopted the software. Later, working in conjunction
with the Edinburgh International Festival, ArtifaxEvent was
expanded to cater for arts festivals.

Your site could be for internal users
who require simplified or focussed
workflows, or for external prospects
or customers. You might configure a
single site for all purposes or decide
that you need multiple sites, each
with its own branding, features and
settings.
Your sites are synchronised in real-
time with your installation of
ArtifaxEvent, ensuring that both
systems are always up-to-date.
The rules you set work in
combination to offer maximum
flexibility. Once a user has access to
your site, the information they can
see is controlled dynamically,
according to their relationship with
each record. For example, you might
configure the calendar so that
everyone can see the name and type
of every booking, but only the
customer can see additional details.
