Shane Harris Joins SDS
Toronto, Ontario – March 3, 2009 – Specialty Data Systems of Toronto, a leading North American provider of broadcast management systems, today announced the appointment of Shane Harris as Director of Sales. In his new role, Harris – based in Boise, Idaho – will be responsible for the account management of SDS’ client base in the U.S., including radio, television, cable, interactive and sports networks. With an additional SDS office scheduled to open in the U.S. in 2010, he will lead the company’s U.S. expansion efforts to provide broadcasters with operational integration of all their departments into the SDS Symphony system, the company’s flagship broadcast management software. Well known for his work in broadcast traffic and sales operations management, Harris comes to SDS after more than 10 years with Hailey, Idaho-based Marketron Broadcast Solutions, where he was most recently National Sales Manager. “Shane is well-respected in the industry for his ability to help broadcasters become more efficient,” said Dave Cole, SDS President and CEO. “His experience, combined with SDS’s 20 years of success in delivering innovative broadcast software systems, provide our U.S. clients with a unique and proven value proposition.” “Particularly during these uncertain economic times, broadcasters are looking for operational efficiencies and ways to reduce expenses, and SDS’s technology delivers,” Cole added. “Not only does implementing the SDS system help broadcasters save money, but the cost of the system itself is extremely reasonable as well.” Harris and the SDS executive team look forward to meeting radio, television, cable and sports network managers at the NAB Convention in Las Vegas, April 18-23, 2009.
