SIIA Launches Online Platforms to Connect High Tech Companies & Provide Resources on Latest News and Trends

Seven “Communities” Rally Software & Digital Content Companies around Big Data, Internet of Things, Mobile, Finance, Marketing & More

Washington, DC, September 20, 2014 --(PR.com)-- The Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), the principal trade association for the software and digital content industries, today announced the launch of SIIA Communities. Created by the SIIA Software Division, these online forums serve as an innovative new platform for connecting and informing companies involved in the software and digital content industries.

Open to companies that are members of SIIA, these seven separate communities focus on big data, Internet of things, finance and more, while a specially-designed CEO Network community provides tools and resources to help chief executives improve effectiveness and gain competitive advantage in the marketplace.

In addition to delivering news, event information and industry updates, each SIIA Community features an ISV Connect form – which allows participating companies to request introductions to other members – as well as a resource section featuring market research and other assets submitted by SIIA or the member community. SIIA is also creating advisory boards to help develop and guide each community.

“Even in this time of pervasive social platforms, many high tech leaders told us there’s no effective digital platform for staying up to date, learning, and meeting others in their fields,” said Rhianna Collier, Vice President of the SIIA Software Division. “SIIA Communities fill this void by providing unique online sources for education, networking and news. Participants will have access to nontraditional networking opportunities, along with highly-focused, issue-specific platforms for news, research and other resources.”

The following SIIA Communities were launched today:

· CEO Network
· Marketing Network
· Finance Network
· Customer Success Network
· Big Data Network
· Internet of Things (IoT) Network
· Mobility Network
