Several European countries, plus Canada, Australia, and Latin America will benefit from the launch of SYS-CON's family of international websites on July 4. Now in beta form, the sites integrate the best of SYS-CON's global i-technology coverage, including breaking news, technical articles, and leading industry blogs, with local coverage from a global network of correspondents.

SYS-CON Founder and CEO Fuat Kircaali expresses enthusiasm for the new sites, noting, “Collectively SYS-CON readers from these countires make up of more than 30% of our daily readers. By launching local sites for our readers, we will be able to maximize our content offerings for our international audience. Each of these international SYS-CON sites will also emerge as the leading i-technology portals in their respective countries.”

“SYS-CON’s international sites will offer a selection of content from all i-technology topics we cover every day, in addition to the local breaking news, views, events, and interviews with technology leaders and opinion makers in these countries,” said Roger Strukhoff, president of SYS-CON International. “Our readers who live in these countries will land on their country SYS-CON home page and be greated in their own language before they navigate themseves to a certain section of our site.”

Strukhoff recently met up with several of the global correspondents who will be contributing to SYS-CON's international efforts. He is working to ensure that SYS-CON provides information that is optimized for each country's IT culture, expectations, and informational needs.
