OmniBus Systems has made two new executive appointments as part of the company's continuing East and West Coast expansion in the US. Ed DeLauter joins as senior project manager, based in New York, and Doug Jackson heads strategic account management in Los Angeles.

OmniBus Systems is the award-winning provider of comprehensive broadcast automation, content management and workflow solutions. Both widely experienced industry figures, DeLauter and Jackson will play a prominent role in developing the market penetration of the OmniBus iTX advanced IT-based transmission and automation platform.

DeLauter is widely experienced in project management and engineering director roles with Ascent Media, BBC Technology, WWE and HITN among others, and Jackson has more than 20 years in senior strategic and management positions with major companies including Sony Pictures Entertainment and Technicolor.

"These important appointments reflect the excitement generated in the industry by the iTX transmission and automation platform, which is attracting high-caliber figures like DeLauter and Jackson," says Mike Oldham, CEO of OmniBus Systems in a prepared statement. "This rounds off a remarkable year for OmniBus, in which we have seen a continued rise in revenue for our iTX product suite from flagship sales of iTX in U.S. and worldwide markets. There is already huge momentum behind iTX, and our continuing expansion with recruitments of DeLauter and Jackson's quality will help to accelerate that through 2010."

OmniBus iTX is a next-generation enterprise-class platform that makes the conventional broadcast automation, master control and playout chain obsolete. Combining and exceeding all the functions of a conventional chain in a single, integrated suite of software applications, iTX is flexible, open and feature-rich, and offers a significantly more configurable and responsive end-to-end solution for a wide range of operating environments.
