I-Connect007 Launches New Platform for Global Magazines
August 22, 2008 | I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
After almost a year of planning, designing and programming, I-Connect007 introduces its new platform for PCB007, EMS007 and PCBDesign007. This is not just a stylistic makeover, but the new site has been rebuilt from the ground up to take the I-Connect007 family of magazines and microsections into the future.
"We've made a tremendous investment of time and resources in building this new foundation for our business going forward," said Ray Rasmussen, co-owner of I-Connect007. "In the past, our progress has been limited by the applications we've used. No longer is this the case. Look for many new products and site features to be introduced over the next year."Incredibly Fast Search
"One of our frustrations in the past was our search engine. We've published over 30,000 news items, articles, audio columns and Real Time with... videos. Our new search capability brings this wealth of information to the desktops of our site visitors in under a second," said I-Connect007 Publisher Steve Gold. "We now have the industry's most comprehensive search engine sifting information from magazines that have been compiling online content for nearly a decade now."This complete search capability employs many ways to find written articles, news releases, audio streams or video files with "Query" and "Topic" searches. Users can dig deeper with searches by geographic region, date ranges and more."It seems only fitting that we're finally capitalizing on our position as the longest running online magazine in the interconnect industry," added Gold.Segmented Magazines
To help bring more focus to the company's singular coverage of the different segments of the electronics packaging industry, the new programming platform distinctly separates I-Connect007 magazines by markets served. Each magazine now lives in its own domain with content and search functions designed to support visitors with industry-specific information. Industry-focused content and searches allow site visitors to truly focus on what's important to them.Reader Feedback
"After building what we believe is the industry's best platform for news, articles, video, exhibition coverage and more, we can't complete this process without reader feedback. We'll be compiling reader comments over the next couple of months and refine our site accordingly. It's exciting that we'll be able to give readers the tools they want rather than force-feeding them what we think they need," explained Rasmussen.PCB007, EMS007 and PCBDesign007 readers are invited to submit their reviews of the site, including requests for new features. "Drop us a line and let us know what you like or don't like about the new site. We will be considering all your comments and suggestions for inclusion in Phase II, which is already in the planning stage," said Rasmussen. "Enjoy!"
