Welcome to CPI, the publishing house with a unique difference. Established in the region for a decade and a half, CPI partners with global players, including IDG (the world's largest IT publisher) and Northern & Shell (for OK! Magazine). At present, CPI is divided into three main divisions: Our news reporting is unique - a finger on the global pulse and a commitment to the local market. CPI’s Business and IT titles include:
SMBs have it tough, balancing between limited resources and making investments to grow the business. Keeping pace with industry trends has also become critical to growth. So how do small and medium sized businesses build a healthy operation and prepare to retain their competitive advantage? And how do you, as a vendor, tap into this lucrative, yet highly spread out segment that currently represents around 80% of the Middle East marketplace? Armed with practical advice, SMB Advisor has been highlighting key business issues for the small and medium business segment since its launch in 2005. It offers practical advice, case studies, market research, management and HR tips, legal advice, financial insights, marketing and logistics pointers, the business case for technology, and a lot more to help regional organisations. The total circulation is 18,000 across the GCC and North Africa. SMB Advisor believes in addressing today’s changing content needs. To ensure we have the maximum reach and impact, our content mix is a combination of print, events, online and video.
For any serious IT player in the Middle East, there are key market sectors that are easy to list - government, energy, banking, education, health, hospitality and so on. For more than a decade and a half, Computer News Middle East has been the link between the regional IT player and these key target markets. It has driven the messages of local relevance, business benefit and technology into focus for these decision makers. The magazine covers all the important market sectors in depth, combining interviews, best practice case studies, news analysis and market trends through focused sections.
Networking is no longer about product. It's about solutions. It's about strategy. It's about vision. For over six years, Network World Middle East has led the Middle East with a combination of forward-looking editorial, grounded in local reality. From details of cutting-edge technology to explanations of technical buzzwords in clear language, from demonstrations of networking advances in the region to details of solutions offered by key players, from case studies to exclusive interviews, Network World Middle East has provided strategic vision for senior management and tactical advice for networking professionals. The magazine focuses on core areas of the industry where vendors strive to explain their technologies and where customers need to understand their solutions.
In the last few years, the distribution model has changed almost out of recognition. Multi-tier, value-add, just-in-time, system integration and so much more. Supporting the distribution channel, Reseller World Middle East is, quite simply, the voice of the IT channel in the region. Through round tables and a constant process of talking to real people in the channel, Reseller World Middle East brings together the industry in a way no other magazine can manage. As well as traditional channel issues, the magazine covers key areas such as IT/electronics convergence, skills and training, sourcing and logistics. There are many voices in the channel, but only one voice for the channel. All of CPI’s titles have established themselves as preferred titles for the discerning reader, keen for the best in news and products. Leveraging global connections through IDG Benefiting from technology today is all about best practice – something that CPI has always led the way with. As part of a global family of over 300 IDG publications, CPI has over the years built a portfolio of world-class magazines. Now, it is a time of convergence as we integrate the on-line world with print to deliver on an end-to-end digital platform. CPI has remained focused on putting together global resources, adding a strong local view and delivering solutions for the region. CPI also pioneered the use of digital technology to ensure the widest possible dissemination of its magazines across the region and beyond. That's why we signed up with US-based Zinio, the leader in delivering on-line magazines through subscriptions. All of CPI's IT magazines are available free in digital editions, to complement the controlled circulation of print copies across the Middle East. Zinio technology allows the instant and mass distribution of new issues and offers a reliable audit of readership. Beyond content Although CPI began as an IT content provider, our magazines have grown to be more than that. As preferred platforms for the industry and end user community to come together, CPI IT has been championing innovative ideas in the form of industry handbooks, events and awards programmes. Here is a quick overview of some of our most successful projects so far:
