A whole new Windows®World for IT managers
Windows®World, the first Indian publication for IT managers on the Windows® platform, is being launched by IDG Media
IDG Media is bringing out a magazine dedicated to IT managers working on the Windows® platform. Titled Windows®World, it will be published once every two months with a targeted, qualified, controlled circulation of 20,000 copies. It will provide comprehensive information on the management and deployment of Microsoft operating systems, applications and related topics.
N Bringi Dev, IDG Media president, says, “Our close interaction with the enterprise IT user community revealed a gap in the information needs of IT managers and professionals. With Windows®World, we not only close that gap, but set a new benchmark with a truly international publication. Windows®World, together with CIO, now allows IDG to cover the Indian enterprise IT space comprehensively.”
Neelam Dhawan, managing director, Microsoft India, says, “This initiative by IDG India is highly commendable. With its high editorial standards and international leverage, we are confident that Windows®World will benefit not only the many users of Microsoft Windows® based products, but the community of IT professionals as a whole.”
Vijay Ramachandran will be editor in chief for Windows®World. According to Ramachandran, the editorial focus will be on providing information related systems and applications on the Windows Platform. Ramachandran says, “Our brief was clear – to be an independent and accurate source of information that will better equip IT professionals to manage systems and applications based on the Windows® platform. The magazine features various sections that meet all information needs of IT professionals – product launches, implementation case studies and expert opinion.”
IDG has also launched the Windows®World website, www.windowsworld.in, which provides supplementary information and resources such as patches, tools and software that IT professionals will find useful.
Windows®World has found support from many vendor organisations, such as AMD, APC, EMC, Emerson, HP, LG, Tyco and Wipro, which have participated as advertisers in the inaugural issue.
