BizTech Review Guidelines

The BizTech Review

Does it work for IT? That’s the top question that BizTech’s review team strives to answer. Each of our reviewers works in the IT industry and puts each product that we review to the test.

As a B2B magazine focused on the needs of the IT practitioner, our top focus is determining whether a given product works for IT professionals in a business setting. We are focused strictly on business technologies and not those geared towards consumers.

Overview: What is this product intended to do?
End-User Advantage: Most products or technology touch the end user in some manner. What problem will this product or technology solve for end-users?
Why it works for IT: Our readers are IT practitioners—systems administrators, network administrators, IT managers, directors and CIOs—making it imperative that we spell out the features that aid IT in doing its job better.
Disadvantages: Believe it or not, even the best products contain bugs and poor graphical user interfaces or require add-on services that include costs and maintenance overhead. Consider this part of the review a heads-up on what you may want to watch out for.

If I have a product, how do I get BizTech to review it?

The best way to get a product reviewed is to pitch it, via e-mail, to the right editor. To determine which editor covers that product, see our "Meet the Editors" page. Submit review suggestions here.

No guarantees are made concerning the outcome of the reviews. We restrict our reviews to products sold by CDW. To see if your product applies, search www.cdw.com. The views expressed in BizTech magazine and on its Web site are those of the individual authors and editors and not necessarily those of CDW Corp.
