Uliss, publisher of VARBusiness. "In light of recent events, the Bush administration has submitted a budget request of $52 billion -- an increase of over 15% for fiscal 2003 -- for federal IT programs alone. Going beyond D.C., state and local IT spending is projected to reach over $56 billion by 2005. A large percentage of our subscribers are currently engaged in, looking to expand or contemplating entry into this substantial market." Robert C. DeMarzo, VARBusiness Editorial Director/CMP Vice President, added "Research revealed a definite need for information specifically geared towards these government IT solution providers. In a recent study, only 13% of these IT professionals reported reading any of the government IT publications. In fact, most said their needs were not being met by any of the various government IT publications. It is clear from our research and detailed discussions with government integrators that they clamour for the kind of insight and analysis VARBusiness can bring to understanding the government and education markets. In keeping with VARBusiness' high standards, GovernmentVAR will be a quality editorial product that will provide the guidance, technical expertise, insight and analysis necessary for these government IT solution providers to succeed." Starting with the May 27th issue of VARBusiness and running in a total of four issues through July 2002, GovernmentVAR will deliver 61,000 solution providers covering the government sector. As a result, GovernmentVAR will have the largest Solution Provider circulation of any publication in the government sector.
