Why Systems Management News

While there are a number of magazines written for e-mail, storage, database and other hard-working sys admin staff, Systems Management News is the first publication for their managers. Those managers need news analysis to understand what’s happening in their field and what it means – the type of timely, context-rich information that is in woefully short supply today and simply unavailable on the Internet.

There are so many reasons to advertise in Systems Management News but space limits us to just the top 10!

1. Reach the bosses. Why spin your wheels marketing to low level operators and administrators? Systems Management News is written for the IT operations and data center managers - the admins’ boss. Focus your marketing dollars on the decision-makers, not the implementers.
   
  2. Part of Today’s Culture. Systems Management News is the ultimate browsing medium, with large pages, to-the-point articles and a twice-monthly frequency that keeps buyers current, but doesn’t overwhelm them or wrestle with the Internet to cover breaking news.
   
  3. Tabloid Size. When you do any sort of visual advertising you want your message to be LARGE. That’s why Systems Management News showcases your ad in the easy-to-read tabloid format that is 70% larger than an IT newsweekly or monthly techie journal. Bigger ads mean greater impact and attention for your products so go big or go home!
   
  4. Reach the CIO’s Buyer. Let’s face it – the CIO is too busy to evaluate and select your product and must delegate that decision to those trusted IT managers – the kind of managers who read Systems Management News.
   
  5. A targeted circulation. The circulation of Systems Management News will be tightly controlled to 40,000 sys admin, data center and IT operations managers. Each subscriber will also have to have purchasing authority. Systems Management News plans to apply for a BPA audit to assure you of the highest quality circulation for your money, and audience for your marketing message.
   
  6. Print is still preferred by Managers. While the Internet offers the answers to specific questions brought up by low level IT operators, their managers’ information needs are broader and less well-defined. Insight. Synthesis. Guidance. These types of things are best delivered in print, and that’s where Systems Management News comes in, to giving IT managers a twice-monthly snapshot of what’s happening and more importantly, what it means.
   
  7. Low Charter Rates. Take advantage of our Charter Rate Programs and run a full tabloid page for less than $3,800 per insertion. You competitor who wait on the sidelines will have to pay more, giving you a built-in marketing advantage!
   
  8. Generate leads. Compliment your awareness and preference-building print advertising programs in Systems Management News with custom webinars, white paper programs featuring guaranteed leads, or promotions for your own prerecorded webinars. Whichever program you choose we’ll help you get leads to your sales force.
   
  9. Integrated Media. Increase the value of your print ads by advertising online with www.sysmannews.com, or sponsor our weekly e-newsletter, Systems Management Week. Or rent our postal or e-mail lists to send your own custom message to a selection of our audience.
   
  10. BZ Media Quality. Systems Management News is brought to you by BZ Media, publisher of SD Times and Software Test & Performance. We know how to create enduring print products that meet the needs of today’s buyers in the post-modern Internet world.
