iX offers pilot issue in English
iX, German journal for IT professionalss, goes international

Hannover (Germany), November 8, 2004 - iX, the German IT professional's journal, has put together articles from some of its recent issues and published them as an international pilot issue. The 72 pages, available only electronically, can be downloaded as of now: www.ix.de/en/.

The English pilot issue represents the range of topics the German journal covers. Networking, operating systems and client/server computing are at the centre of iX's focus as well as the Internet/Intranet and Virtual Reality. "Readers have asked again and again, why we didn't publish iX in English", editor-in-chief Jürgen Seeger says, "now we are looking forward to the responses".

In order to find out, whether an English iX would meet the needs of potential readers, there is a very short questionnaire on the download page the editorial staff would like potential readers to fill in. If it turns out that an international iX might meet with a good response, the journal will be published electronically on a regular basis. The English iX addresses IT professionals all over the world.

iX has been in print since 1988, published by Heise Zeitschriften Verlag, which has successfully published technical journals since the end of the seventies. Apart from iX, Heise journals currently include the computer magazine c't and, licensed from MIT, the German version of Technology Review.
