CMP Media's TechWeb Enterprise Portfolio Rated a top Site by Government Decision Makers for Hardware and Software Information

According to the Spring 2001 @plan market research, CMP Media TechWeb's Enterprise Portfolio including InformationWeek.com, InternetWeek.com and NetworkComputing.com is the highest concentration of sites for hardware and software decision makers within the local, state and federal government sectors.

@plan (http://www.webplan.net/) is a leading provider of online market research planning systems and is used by advertising buyers as a decision-making tool to determine where to best reach their target audience online to make hardware and software buying decisions.

The @plan statistics show that the CMP Enterprise Portfolio (http://www.techweb.com/) is 65% more likely to be visited by government decision makers when making hardware and software buying decisions than other well-known technology sites. Traffic to the CMP Enterprise Portfolio for government decision makers now exceeds that of these sites as well.
