Use Report Builder 2012 to Visualize Your SharePoint Data

Pérez Art Museum Miami Improves Its Exhibition Planning and Management Platform

Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) has chosen Curia, the first collaborative exhibition planning application, to serve as its exhibition planning and management system. With this step, PAMM joins other prestigious museums such as the Detroit Institute of Arts and the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in using Curia to support exhibition planning and development activities. Curia is the only application devoted specifically to exhibition planning, design, and task management. The system enables exhibition planners to enter, retain, and modify all data and media associated with an exhibition, generate planning documents and reports, assign and manage tasks, deploy and modify timelines and easily perform other necessary tasks which have proven cumbersome using traditional spreadsheets and email chains. As a cloud-based system, Curia provides all exhibition stakeholders with an always-accessible shared working environment and a “single point of truth” for complex and changeable data. The Curia system interfaces with PAMM’s TMS collection ...
