They were, however, less likely to report a major positive impact on their revenues from digital technologies (5% for heritage compared to 11% across the whole sector). These are the baseline findings of a new study of the use of new technologies by the Arts and Cultural sector, commissioned by Nesta, ACE and AHRC.<\/p>\n<p>The report found that digital technologies are delivering positive outcomes for many organisations in terms of audience development, creative output and operating efficiency &#8211; but lower impacts on revenues. Museums are less likely than the rest of the cultural sector to report positive impacts from digital technologies.<\/p>\n<p>Organisations surveyed said they felt constrained in their digital activities by a lack of staff time and funding and a lack of key technical skills such as data management. The most digitally successful organisations all make use of a wide range of resources for advice and ideas, are more open to experimentation and have digital skills spread throughout their organisation rather than concentrated in one area.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The full report &#8216;Digital Culture: How arts and cultural organisations in England use technology&#8217; is available online at<\/span>: <a href=\"http:\/\/native.artsdigitalrnd.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/DigitalCulture_FullReport.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Visit the website<\/span>: <a href=\"http:\/\/native.artsdigitalrnd.org.uk\/digitalcultureresearch\/\" target=\"_blank\">LINK<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A report into new digital technology in the heritage sector, \u2018Digital Culture: How arts and cultural organisations in England use technology\u2019, finds that heritage is good at creating content but not at raising revenue.
