New Publication Provides Information to Help Agencies Apply
Technology Effectively
VERNON HILLS, Ill., March 23 /PRNewswire/ -- CDW Government, Inc. (CDW-G),
the government and education subsidiary of CDW Corporation (Nasdaq: CDWC),
today announced the launch of Fed Tech, a quarterly magazine designed to
assist IT decision makers and implementers who use technology to build a more
effective federal government. The premiere issue will be sent to 70,000
qualified subscribers today.
The magazine is aimed at IT professionals such as CIOs and CSOs who
establish IT policy directives relating to their agency's mission and
objectives. It also targets mid-level IT managers consisting of agency
managers like information resource management chiefs, along with managers and
directors responsible for day-to-day IT management and purchasing.
"Because CDW-G partners with federal IT executives and has deep working
relationships with them, we have a unique perspective about what technologies
provide the most effective solutions to best meet the needs of government,"
said Jim Shanks, president of CDW-G. "Fed Tech will be a valuable resource
for exchanging information."
Fed Tech magazine, which carries the tagline "Technology Insights for
Leaders in Federal Government," will extend the CDW-G brand of tech
publications, translating its mission to inform, focus on benchmarks for
success and support decision makers in the public sector. The magazine will
offer government IT management information and market intelligence on how to
build technology solutions for federal departments and agencies. In addition
to covering trends, news and analysis, readers can digest information on
programs, policies and funding sources. Fed Tech also details IT case studies
designed to offer a forum for best policies and practices.
Lee Copeland, a seasoned editor and journalist, will be the editor-in-
chief of Fed Tech. Copeland also is the editor-in-chief of CDW-G's Ed Tech
and State Tech magazines. Previously, she wrote about business and technology
for The Chicago Tribune and The Chicago Sun-Times and was a senior editor at
Computerworld.
"The expectations and aspirations of the federal public sector have never
been greater or more important," said Copeland. "Technology is a critical
component for achieving these ambitious goals. Yet, no publication exists to
provide the in-depth analysis and strategic advice to federal IT pros to
assist them in succeeding. What you will find in the pages of CDW-G's Fed
Tech is insight from inside and outside the federal sector on tackling the
challenges of a government in the midst of remarkable change and the pursuit
of excellence-all involving technology."
The magazine is published by Ziff Davis Integrated Media and was unveiled
today at FOSE, the federal IT tradeshow in Washington, DC.
