Manhasset, NY, October 11, 2000 -- CMP Media's Network Computing announced today that it has joined forces with Bitpipe, inc. to launch Tech Library, a new offering for IT professionals, as part of Network Computing's award- winning Web site. Tech Library is an exclusive database of vendor and analyst information enabling IT executives to obtain knowledge about the industry, new and existing products, technologies and services.
The Tech Library, located at http://techlibrary.networkcomputing.com/pr houses an extensive collection of informative research report summaries and white papers on IT issues such as wireless computing, security, optical storage, E-commerce, and gigabit ethernet. Visitors to Network Computing's Tech Library can search and browse on all the latest information, as well as register to receive KnowledgeAlert! - a customizable e-mail service that notifies users whenever new content of interest is posted to the site. "We're excited to bring this partnership to our readers," said Bradley F. Shimmin, Online Editor for Network Computing. "With Tech Library, they will easily be able to marry our in-depth content with up-to-the-minute vendor and analyst information, greatly enhancing and streamlining the purchase process."
"The opportunity to collaborate with Network Computing allows us to serve the most qualified audience of networking professionals in the industry", said Jay Habegger, CEO of Bitpipe.com. "In a recent survey we conducted, a majority of IT professionals said that they would value a one-stop web site that provides easy access to vendor white papers. This partnership allows us to combine the best of both worlds for the networking professional -- exceptional editorial content from a top networking resource, and an invaluable research tool to help promote smart IT purchasing".
Network Computing (http://www.networkcomputing.com), published by CMP Media, is the technology reviews magazine powering 220,000 Technology Experts. It is the only publication that provides in-depth, comprehensive product, technology and service reviews from a real-world perspective to active technology buyers. The publication is the source for Technology Experts to go to when they are ready to buy. We tell them what works, how it works and who to buy it from. In addition, the publication consistently has the largest average-issue audience among all networking publications, according to Simmons and IntelliQuest.
