March 22, 2012
ScheduALL is a global provider of Enterprise Resource Management (ERM) software for the media, broadcast, and transmission industries. The annual National Association of Broadcasters Show-NAB-held this year in Las Vegas April 16-19 is a perfect forum to showcase how ScheduALL is making genius possible with its innovative and extensible technologies that are bringing an often fragmented community much closer together.
“NAB is always an exciting time for us because we are able to demonstrate “hands on” many of the innovations we have been crafting over the past several years. Some are brand new, and some are powerful extensions to our core platform that today is recognised as an industry standard,” said Joel Ledlow, ScheduALL’s CEO. “We aren’t passive in our approach either. We are listening to our customers and you will see that we are bringing many new technologies to market every year. We continue to grow our community with non-bespoke, very real solutions that not only meet the business and operational needs of today, but accommodate and future-proof the project and profitability requirements for the years ahead.”
