Verbatim is the quarterly newspaper produced by The Corporate IT Forum. As with all Forum publications the topics are entirely generated by subscriber interest. It is this focus on hot issues in the Corporate IT environment that makes the newspaper so influential in instigating long running coverage in many trade publications for the IT industry.
Verbatim is the only publication produced using direct input from senior corporate IT professionals. The aim of Verbatim is to be an honest, relevant and informed reflection of the current challenges and concerns facing corporate IT.
