Bristol, UK (PRWEB) June 9, 2004 -- British Publishers Ltd. (www.britishpublishers.com) launches eStrategies: the only Web site and magazine that tracks technology solutions specifically for Central & Eastern Europe, the region where IT is developing most rapidly. Thanks to a $60 billion investment by the European Union over the next five years, the nations of Central and Eastern Europe are leapfrogging directly to the cutting edge of networking, Web services, elearning, ehealth, and e-government applications.

Our Roundtables bring together the most important policymakers and the leaders of industry. In the coming months they will feature:

Bohumil Pechr, director, E-government unit, Czech Republic Ministry for Informatics

Jan van Arkel, chairman, eEurope Smart Cards

Paul Timmers, director, E-government unit, European Commission Information Society Directorate

Motoo Kakusabe, advisor to the EBRD presidency among other top-level officials, industry leaders, decision makers from the Central & East European government ministries involved in e- government; European Commission officials who determine the funding for many e- government projects in Central & Eastern Europe.

At our Roundtables, we treat the hottest topics like eprocurement, rural development, biometrics for smartcards, best practice for e-government, and many similar issues.

Our readers are 38,000 of the top-level administrators and academics who make the decisions about e-government in Central & Eastern Europe, as well as all of the industry leadership. With our publication you reach the decision-makers for both supply and demand. The publication is valued for its accurate reporting and incisive writing.

The specialised Central & East European audience that we service is traditionally fragmented, reached only by the largest multi-nationals
and national firms. With eStrategies, we have created a crossborder marketplace for the IT industry in Central & Eastern Europe, enabling advertisers to reach it all with one
publication.

Distribution: 38,000 C-Class Executives, top-level administrators, and top Officials are reached by our publication. eStrategies is a controlled circulation publication which reaches Central & East European administrators who make technology purchasing decisions, as well as the European Commission, World Bank, UNDP, and EBRD officials who are involved in the industry.

Coverage of the leading exhibition and conference organisers ensure that eStrategies has a presence at all of the key events in
Central & Eastern European IT specifically, and those whose subject is development in general. This guarantees the visibility of your marketing message.

By its very nature, the information society cuts across traditional boundaries. British Publishers aim is to guide IT decision makers working in the new Europe, providing the latest thought leadership, profound analysis of trends, and interviews with the people who matter.

Mission Statement
Developing nations are a special market for information technology, in that cultural factors and the diffusion of ideas can be as important
to working there as purchasing budgets.

eStrategies aims to bridge the gaps between cultures, ensuring that best practice reaches the players who need it there. We also provide a careful aggregation of breaking news from the most important sources, not just in regions in development, but also from the international organisations and businesses which are working to implement change.

Editorial Focus
Comprehensive coverage of the application of IT solutions, strategies and technologies in the evolving environment of development. As new solutions emerge, and as projects develop, we provide profound and thorough analysis of how the industry is adapting to the special conditions in this region.
