IDG Connect Launches First IDG Website in South Africa

IDG Connect, the demand generation division of IDG has launched a new IT and business website which provides news, opinions and commentary on the South African market, along with Connect’s full global library of over 6,000 white papers

LONDON--()--IDG Connect South Africa features aggregated news, community opinions and vendor commentary from companies and individuals across the region. This new site comes on the back of recent survey results which show that whilst 52% of South African IT and business professionals prefer to read local content, 68% struggle to find it.

This research demonstrates there is a real thirst for good quality IT and business content across South Africa. Findings reveal that nearly 80% of all those surveyed consider local and global reports of any kind to be either useful or extremely useful. The new South African site hosts IDG Connect’s full global library of over 6,000 white papers. These are all tagged by region.

Kathryn Cave Editor of IDG Connect International said “Our aim with this site is to provide one place where South African IT and business professionals can get all the local information they need: from news, to comment to white papers. This is community project and we are always looking for good quality contributors.”

News content is aggregated from a variety of different local sources; whilst additional comment and opinion are created by IDG Connect editorial staff and a range of external contributors. Connect is also actively seeking good quality local research, thought leadership and market analysis papers to host on its site and promote to its lists. Please contact Kathryn Cave if you would like to submit a paper or article.
