Network Computing Announces 'For IT, By IT' Digital Issue Series

SAN FRANCISCO, July 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- For 20 years, Information Technology professionals have relied on Network Computing's "For IT, By IT" approach to deliver straightforward, informed insight into the ever-changing landscape of technology. Now, more than ever, IT leaders need a reliable source that shares knowledge and insight from their peers and helps them cut through the tangle of emerging technologies with focused explanations and enlightened opinions on today's pressing IT issues.
