The IT Software Community to Emphasize Application Transformation

NEW YORK, Nov. 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --  The IT Software Community today unveiled a new Web community intended for IT executives, IT managers, and other IT professionals who use virtualization, cloud computing, and mobile devices to deliver application reach and availability.

Long-time technology journalist John W. Verity was named editor in chief of the site. Verity brings experience writing and reporting for Fortune, The New York Times, Computerworld, Smart Enterprise, and BusinessWeek, among other titles. He will lead the site's active blogosphere, message boards, and live chat activities.

The initial cast of technology bloggers for The IT Software Community includes such respected industry thinkers as Pete Bartolik, Michael Dortch, Sandra Gittlen, and Mary Shacklett.

"Application transformation and optimization are critical elements for any company that needs to compete, innovate, or excel," Verity says. "The IT Software Community will comprehensively address how applications – and the networks and devices they run on – can be optimized for superior performance and reliability, and give readers the overall management perspective they need."

The site is published by DeusM, a UBM company and UBM TechWeb. HP is the exclusive sponsor.
