(New York - February 4, 2014) - ScheduALL has once again been selected to provide transmission and resource management to NBC Olympics, a division of the NBC Sports Group, during its production of the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, from February 6-23. The announcement was made today jointly by Craig Lau, Vice President, Information Technology, NBC Olympics, and Stefan Nied, Vice President, Worldwide Operations, ScheduALL.

NBC Olympics has again turned to ScheduALL's advanced resource management solutions to coordinate the highly dynamic environment of the Games. This will be the seventh straight Olympics for which NBCU has leveraged the expertise of ScheduALL's software and services group to orchestrate the logistics of people, equipment, locations and transmission feeds.
