onShore Development and Crestron Provide Media Retrieval Solution

CHICAGO, IL. - Apr. 22, 2004 - onShore Development has entered into a formal agreement with Crestron Electronics to provide its WebCheckout Resource Management and Scheduling Software as a media retrieval system, as well as a front-end event scheduling solution for all Crestron controlled devices.

As a member of the Crestron I2P Industry Integration Partnership Program, onShore Development plans to utilize Crestron’s extensive dealer network to promote the WebCheckout Media Retrieval System.
“Our customers will benefit from the Crestron partnership as WebCheckout is extended to not only track and schedule resources, but to also schedule live events to occur for the devices WebCheckout manages. It is a perfect segue into managing analog, digital and streaming media as well as online control of resources,” said Eric Dodson, President of onShore Development.

The WebCheckout Crestron Media Retrieval System will be sold as a stand-alone solution that utilizes WebCheckout's core scheduling and inventory management capabilities. Customers will have the option to purchase the WebCheckout Media Booking and Cataloging Module to manage bibliographic media inventories that are often associated with media retrieval systems. Other integrated Modules such as Help Desk/Repair and Billing, as well as data integration services are also available.

“Companies like onShore are ideal partners for Crestron,” said Ray Coneys, Crestron’s Director of Technical Sales. “This relationship will enable Crestron to focus on what we do best in AV and environmental control, while seamlessly interfacing to a robust and flexible scheduling software package. Crestron dealers can then pass this valuable resource on to clients in commercial or educational markets that require the enterprise level resource scheduling features of WebCheckout, as well as AV control on any scale.”

"We expect to see a notable increase in revenue as we expand our reach to Crestron's vast dealer network, who will market WebCheckout to end-users we have yet to contact, both within and beyond our market segment," notes Daniel Pyne, Vice-President of Sales for onShore Development.
