ThinData EMS has the feature sets we were looking for.”

Eventi’s involvement in ThinData began in 2005 through the introduction of management and capital into the existing ThinData organization. We have begun by helping implement industry standard financial and reporting tools while assisting with the strategy behind the company’s marketing and sales processes. Our role will continue to include direct involvement with existing management to help maintain ThinData’s exceptional growth.
