GovernmentVAR
Mission Statement
GovernmentVAR is a solutions-centric magazine catering to the information needs of education and government-oriented Solution Providers including those who are currently assessing the viability of entering this expanding market sector.
Editorial Focus
GovernmentVAR is a focused editorial initiative designed to inform, educate, and enlighten Solution Providers and Integrators about IT product and service opportunities in the federal, state, local, and education branches of the government sector.
Even with its promise of abundant IT opportunities, the government sector by its very nature is an unwieldy, bureaucratic collection of agencies that do not readily welcome or adapt to change. Ever aware of new opportunities, VARs and Integrators are looking to either enter or increase their involvement in this lucrative market sector. While VARs and Integrators entrenched in this market enjoy the benefits of longstanding relationships, new entrants must often seek partnerships to gain entrance. In fact, there is a higher percentage of partnering in government IT than in the IT universe as whole.
GovernmentVAR is written to guide IT Solution Providers and Integrators through the labyrinth of federal and local regulation mandates, such as HIPAA, GLBA, and the SarbanesOxley Act. Additionally, GovernmentVAR provides compelling insight into areas of security and disaster recovery initiatives and also through the many often hidden levels of IT opportunities that exist throughout the expanding government and education vertical markets.
