Pebble Beach Systems, a leading automation, content management and integrated channel specialist, today announced the appointment of Mike Ruby as Senior Software Developer.
Ruby comes from Avid Technology where for the last 13 years he held senior engineering positions, working on Avid automation systems, including the former Sundance Digital products. Ruby's appointment underscores Pebble Beach Systems' commitment to developing automation products that help stations smoothly migrate from legacy systems.
Many legacy automation systems have already reached their “end-of-life” and are either no longer supported, or supported with unacceptable caveats for the mission critical services they provide. A smooth and uninterrupted migration path to state-of-the-art automation systems can be daunting to both operational staff and management. Pebble Beach Systems' overarching goal is to remove any and all risk to that migration path.
"In his new position, Mike will work with Sean Pendleton who also recently joined us from Avid/Sundance Digital. Their background and expertise further deepen the pool of automation knowledge within Pebble. As key members of our global engineering team, they will continue to evolve our product suite with the highest quality software to ensure we support the needs of broadcasters both today and in the future," commented Eric Openshaw, General Manager of Pebble Broadcast Systems.
