Formerly UniForum Monthly
UniForum's ITSolutions is published by UniForum, the International Association of Open Systems Professionals, so it will come as no surprise that the magazine has a distinct point of view. UniForum's IT Solutions believes that open computing is the preferred model for business and that open technologies offer the choices end users demand.
Put simply, they'll find answers. Answers to their questions about
how Unix-to-PC integration works; how mission-critical applications are
built to solve business problems; how emerging technologies like the Internet
and the World-Wide Web are revolutionizing the way people use computers
on the job. Answers to how data can be moved, stored, retrieved,
protected, and most of all how it can be used. Answers to how their
peers are solving the problems presented by the unrelenting corporate drive
to downsize, while simultaneously providing elegant computing solutions
with fewer resources. Answers to how client/server architectures
really can work and what the promises of emerging technologies like objects
and middleware hold in store. And perhaps even answers to questions
about the future direction of open systems and enterprise computing.
UniForum's IT Solutions will be edited for the practitioner
especially the IS department director who has never before been faced with
so many demands. UniForum's IT Solutions reaches these audiences
as well: the systems and network administrator whose job has become more
complex as computers and telephony converge; the business owner who has
to buy multivendor systems that are hard to understand, hard to afford and
even harder to put together; and the channel partner who faces customer
requirements that are more diverse.
Every issue of UniForum's IT Solutions will address the needs
of these readers through a series of full-length feature articles
and fact-loaded case studies (see over). Supporting these will be a wide
assortment of specific departments and regular columns that focus on new
technologies, procurement policies, new products, legal issues, career choices,
analysis, commentary, opinion and much more (see on below).
UniForum's IT Solutions will be written by some of the industry's
most admired writers, whose ability to get behind the hype and right to
the hard issues of implementation will bring welcome insights to readers
who just don't have the time to waste on trivialities.

What one reader has to say:
"I would like to congratulate you on a fine publication, I have found
it very useful in many respects. I own and operate a sportswear company.
I have found it evermore complicated to choose the right system to suit
my business. But your editorials, reviews, and suggestions from experienced
business people have made things much easier."
