Cattle
Annie’s Restaurant & Entertainment Club is one of Virginia’s
premier music venues. Located in Lynchburg, Virginia, Cattle Annie’s
has been the host of major music artists since the club was established
in 1993.
Cattle Annie’s features a diverse format of popular entertainment including
live Rock, Top 40, and Country music and DJ’s playing the latest dance
hits. In addition, the club features a large dance floor, tex-mex restaurant,
game room, and three bars. There is so much to do, and so much happening, Cattle
Annie’s has to use every means possible to inform their guests!
Several years ago, Cattle Annie’s promotional team implemented
PowerPoint slides broadcast through their closed circuit television
system, including large screen projectors, to present upcoming
entertainment and other promotional items. The project was successful
at informing the guests, but keeping the slides up-to-date proved
tedious and over time, the appearance of the slides deteriorated.
The promotional team began looking for a timesaving and cost-effective
solution.
Linking
the club’s scheduling database to the slides seemed to be
the solution. However, PowerPoint doesn’t natively support
database linking. Learning and writing code wasn’t worth the
time that would be expended. Take-Off Software answered the call
for a cost effective solution with DataPoint.
By linking Cattle Annie’s scheduling database (a Microsoft
Access application) to PowerPoint, the promotional team found a
simple solution to assure up-to-date and attractive promotion of
its entertainment schedule.
