IRVINE, CA and ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - November 23, 2010) - Paciolan, the leading provider of ticketing, marketing and fundraising solutions in college athletics, announced today that Georgia Tech has renewed its partnership with the company. Georgia Tech will leverage the Paciolan system to continue to provide fans and season ticket holders with world-class services during every interaction with the athletics department. Georgia Tech has been working with Paciolan since 1984.

"Our partnership with Paciolan enables us to leverage the best tools in the business to serve Georgia Tech season ticket holders, fans and donors," said Dan Radakovich, director of athletics for Georgia Tech. "We've been very impressed with their commitment to excellence, and we couldn't be more excited to extend our long-term partnership with Paciolan."
