Coverage & editorial philosophy

The process of researching technology solutions can be a time-consuming. Buyers use the tools to hand: starting with their own knowledge and what they can gather from their peers and colleagues, but research shows that 93% of technology buying decisions start with research on the internet. Often, this is more difficult than it seems, with the vast majority of vendors requiring registration in return for access to their high-quality content.

IThound makes the process easier for buyers by aggregating vendor content onto a single point on the web, giving access in exchange for a single registration.

IThound syndicates content via a partner network of Incisive Media websites, including Computing.co.uk, channelweb.co.uk, theinquirer.net, risk.net, waterstechnology.com and v3.co.uk. Using state of the art technology, we place our clients' content alongside relevant editorial content, so we display content that matches users' interests when they access our partner network from search engines. This approach delivers hundreds of thousands of impressions for our clients' content and generates leads, and the IThound site registrations which power our ongoing lead delivery.

As a searchable vendor content library, IThound has no specific editorial philosophy and is vendor agnostic. Our customers are free to post as much or as little content to the site as they wish. Our user base is the final arbiter of quality: users' own ratings are displayed on the site for all to see.
