OREANDA-NEWS. accesso Technology Group plc (AIM: ACSO), the AIM listed premier technology solutions provider to the attractions and leisure industry, is pleased to report encouraging momentum in its efforts to drive sales in the cultural attractions sector, particularly in the United States.

Siriusware, which was acquired by the Group in December 2013, has recently expanded the Group's client relationships in this sector, by signing agreements with four prestigious cultural venues in the Unites States.  The Children's Museum of Indianapolis, Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City, Philadelphia Museum of Art and Pacific Science Center in Seattle have each recently signed contracts to enable them to utilise the Group's Siriusware Salespoint Solutions.

These four venues will each leverage a variety of Siriusware Salespoint Solutions that include eCommerce, Front Gate Ticketing, Access Control, Group Sales, Memberships, Kiosks, Food and Beverage, and Retail.

The wins announced today indicate the positive contribution Siriusware continues to make to the Group's strategic efforts, as it continues to target growth in adjacent Leisure verticals and expand the growth potential of the Group as a whole.

Commenting Tom Burnet, Chief Executive Officer of accesso Technology Group plc said:

"I am very pleased to see our Siriusware business continue to go from strength to strength, not only delivering new clients, but opening up new verticals for the entire Group to target. One of the biggest challenges cultural attractions face is integrating technology into the guest experience.  I am delighted that we are able to help them meet that challenge and, in so doing, re-energise guest enthusiasm for such a tremendous range of cultural attractions like those we're proud to announce today."
