MSP TechMedia - publishers of IBM Systems Magazine 

MSP TechMedia is a division of MSP Communications, a full-service publisher that produces magazines and media at any point on the publishing continuum. From turnkey publications to online content to other services, MSP delivers.

On behalf of IBM, MSP TechMedia publishes two magazines—IBM Systems Magazine, Power Systems edition and IBM Systems Magazine—Mainframe edition. The monthly Power Systems edition reaches approximately 50,000 readers who own or work on Power Systems servers running IBM i, AIX and Linux. The Mainframe edition is delivered to approximately 25,000 IBM mainframe customers every other month. Each magazine is also available as a digital version that is free worldwide.

Visitors to the ibmsystemsmag.com Web site will find blogs, a Twitter feed and Web exclusive content along with the archives from the past six years ( going back to 2002? To avoid having to change every year?). Advertising from business partners, along with webinar, whitepaper postings, etc., also add value to the site.

MSP TechMedia also publishes several e-mail newsletters to complement the content found in the magazines and online. IBM i EXTRA, AIX EXTRA and Mainframe EXTRA are each published monthly to provide new content to subscribers as well as links to the magazine and blogs. Power Systems Marketplace and Mainframe Marketplace deliver an aggregate of business partner webinars, whitepapers, success stories and other information on a monthly basis.

Editorial Department:
IBM Systems Magazine editorial staff relies on top experts, both within (inside?) and outside IBM, to provide valuable information in both strategic and tactical formats. Editorial lineups for the print publication are determined three months prior to the publication date. In addition, each publication has a dedicated team of technical editors and advisors who help ensure the magazines are relevant to readers. Like a traditional publishing company, editorial and sales initiatives are managed through separate departments. For more information, call 612.373.9550.
