Joann
Bernstein - Global Entertainment Network East, Inc.
Founded nearly thirty years ago Global Entertainment
Network East, Inc is a nationally known, full service
entertainment company that specializes exclusively in the
presentation of talent and production for corporations,
industrial shows and fund raising events.
Global holds a special place at EBT.
They were our first clients! Since 1986 Entertainment
Business & Technology has been a part of Global’s
success. Global
has used EBT’s line of entertainment software extensively.
Just look at some of the features and programs:
- Contracts
(which brings everything together)
- Package/Tours
– Allows you to create a packaged deal or a tour where
you can have one event and multiple artists (including
outside artists) or a tour of one artist that spans
days, weeks, or months.
- G/L
Key Entries (money due, money received, deposits due,
commissions due, commissions owed)
- Databases:
Artist, Agency/Manager, Promoters/Producers,
Organizations, and Venues
- In
House Splits
- Back
up databases.
- Buy/Sell.
– This allows you to split the guarantee and/or
commission with agencies and other buyers, while Book-It
2000 calculates the money for you.
- Reports.
Book-It 2000 offers extensive reporting.
Forecast reports, Daily Report, Contracts:
Booked, Paid, and Played, Monies Due, Artist Statements,
Artist History Report, and much more. *** We can also
customize any report that you would like.
Joann
says her favorite feature of Book-It 2000 is "Just
making an entry to contracts and have it follow through to
the general ledger. Also the ease of using the
program."
Even
with the death of founder, Stan Bernstein, Global
Entertainment Network East, Inc. (now works under Craig Neir
Associates) upholds the principles and ideas of its founder.
A simple concept with far reaching power,
“corporate entertainment is big business because it helps
companies do business.”

represents many acts that include bluegrass star Alison Krauss (and Union
Station), country heroes Tony Rice, Peter Rowan, Guy Clark, and many more.
Keith Case & Associates started using Book-it 2000 in
1999. Not one piece of the
program is left untouched, and we’ve even customized many features for
them including:

ticket sale amounts, and much more)

software they need and use, but we host and integrated their software with
their website.

- Their
tour schedule and dates are pulled from the itineraries in Book-It
2000.
- Based
on Entertainment Type, private dates are not displayed onto the web
Keith
says his favorite feature is “The completeness of the program.
Everything is in one place, and everything is coordinated. Book-It 2000
provides the completeness of information available all in one place.”

Kelly
Vee - Kelly Bands & DJs
Kelly Vee has been
in the Entertainment industry for twenty years. Her first encounter
with Book-it 2000 started back in 1986 with Mid-East Entertainment.
And when she stepped out on her own and started Kelly Bands and DJs over a
year ago, she knew the exact software she would be using.
While Kelly Bands
and DJs focuses on dance bands, DJs, concerts, recording artists, and show
bands Kelly says her favorite part of the business is the pride of
providing the right entertainment for the right person. “My favorite
part of the job is the pride I get from picking the right entertainment
for the right person. How
afterwards the seeing how wonderfully the entertainment fit for that
individual watching that client be thrilled with the entertainment they
received.”
EBT does more for
Kelly than just provide her entertainment booking software, we host and
integrate her website with the software. Here are just a few things
that we do for Kelly:
- Back Up. -- This allows not only for
Kelly to back up her Book-It 2000 database, but other important files
on her computer to our servers.
- Back up her databases. -- Available to
every client through the maintenance program. Just use our
control panel and back up your database
- Custom Contract. -- Each of our
clients get their own custom contract.
- Tracking
Money. -- Our system's database allows you in a grid format to track
when money is due, when contracts are received, and who owes you
money.
- Databases:
Artist, Agency/Manager, Promoters/Producers, Organizations, and Venues
For
her website we do the following:
- Maintain
and host the site.
- Update
artist info based on the program
It doesn’t matter if you are a brand new agency
or an established one, Book-It 2000 can work for you. As Kelly says, “I am so happy with Book-it 2000, but even
more I’m happy with the service I’ve received from EBT. They’ve been so helpful with my questions and concerns.”
