ShowMgr.com Launches at the 2006 MLB All Star Game the ShowMgr.com Crew Card

ShowMgr.com, a leading provider of software applications for managing broadcast, production and post-production operations, announces the launch of the ShowMgr.com Crew Card. Last week at the 2006 MLB All Star Game, ShowMgr.com provided several hundred crew and field staff a personal crew card that enabled Fox Networks to trace, track and monitor catering costs at the event.

"As a ShowMgr.com customer for over 5 years, we rely on ShowMgr.com to provide us with an integrated, collaborative platform that minimizes duplication of effort and enables sharing and distribution of our production information," said Jerry Steinberg, Senior Vice President of Field Operations, Fox Sports. "The on-demand financial insight acquired from the crew card is just another example of ShowMgr.com developing creative tools that assist us with the overall management of the production process."

"Within 24 hours after the All Star event, ShowMgr.com was able to provide our production accountants a detailed break down including all of the distinct meals served over the five day production and cost allocation by percentage to seven different entities," continued Lynn King, Executive Director of Fox Sports. "Though we've used the crew card at several recent NASCAR events, this is the first time we have used the crew card at an MLB event. In the near future, we plan to utilize the crew card at the BCS Championship, NFC Championship as well as the Daytona 500."

With a powerful suite of software tools that automates the entire operational process, ShowMgr.com is built on a scalable Web architecture that pre-packages several important core technologies critical to the automation of field operations. "Since we have an enterprise perspective toward functional growth and the continued expansion of operational workflow," said Kevin M. Rosen, CEO of ShowMgr.com, "The crew card is a natural addition to enhancing the overall management of a remote or studio production."
