About BIOS
The Internet is inundated with Web sites and Blogs dedicated to providing gadget and technology news, but there are few that specialise in providing content specific to small businesses. This quite often makes navigating for news, reviews and opinions on the latest IT issues unintuitive and frustrating. Product buyers are increasingly relying on the Web as their single source of information for news, reviews and opinions on the latest products and technologies, so the need for a reliable industry source has never been greater. BIOS satisfies the needs and wants of IT product buyers who need a single information source. The immediacy of the Internet also allows BIOS to deliver up-to-the-minute content along with supplemental information such as white papers, press releases and opinion pieces, which is why we're a primary source of IT product information for over 250,000 readers every month. BIOS was launched in Feb 2003 and is a trademark of Black Letter Publishing Ltd.
