* New and improved Buyer's Guides
Since January, as you may have noticed, I’ve been trying to steer readers of this newsletter in the direction of the Network World Buyer’s Guides, which are pitched as the industry’s most comprehensive gateway to detailed information about thousands of products in over 100 technology categories.
Now that we’ve built the product listings, we’re shooting to increase their readership as we’ve recently begun wrapping targeted content around them in order to provide IT folks a single, central place that provides information on how to select, test, buy and deploy these products.
As always, you can tap into detailed product specs, conduct virtual side-by-side comparisons, and read about how some of these products have fared in Network World’s award-winning objective tests. But as a new development, you can now access directly from within these Buyer’s Guides pertinent articles — such as technology primers, market analysis, Best Practices guidelines and buying tips — that will help you make informed buying decisions.
We’ve fleshed out the first 10 Buyer Guides this week, and we’re working to get another 20 fleshed out by year-end. If you are in the market for products in the areas outlined in our new and improved Buyer’s Guides, please tap into the links below and check out what’s now being offered. If you have a suggestion on how we can make these Buyer’s Guides even more useful, please let me know.
