The first issue contains 64 pages and will be distributed to 50,000 businesses nationwide, drawing mainly from CDW's customer base.
After conducting market research, CDW identified the 20- to 99-employee segment as one with unique IT needs. The research also showed that this segment often is overlooked by existing media resources.
