IDG revives The Industry Standard

September 1, 2023 By Dennis Bouchand

IDG today relaunched an online-only version of The Industry Standard. The print edition ended its run in 2001.

“What we wanted to do was bring The Standard back online only. A print component wouldn’t make sense,” said Derek Butcher, the online publication’s vice president and general manager. “We’ll be covering the same topic area in terms of the online economy and the business of the Internet, which of course has grown quite a bit since the original Industry Standard was around. We really want to be true to the editorial integrity and professionalism and quality analysis of the original Industry Standard; we want to provide the what and the why, rather than just the what.” [Source]

Dell closes U.S. kiosks, focuses on direct retail business

August 28, 2023 By Cristina Ledesma

Dell announced that it is closing its 140 kiosks in the U.S. and will focus on direct retail business. The Dell Direct Store model, which began in 2002, enabled customers to touch and feel Dell products before purchasing systems direct from the company. In the past six months the company has adopted a retail strategy that enables Dell to connect with customers it has not necessarily reached in the past. Dell is applying the advantages of its direct business model into retail where customers can purchase laptop and desktop computers in more than 10,000 retail outlets worldwide.

Dell is committed, however, to its direct business, where a majority of customers choose to shop on the phone and via the Internet to buy laptops, desktops and associated products. The kiosks outside the U.S. are not affected with the changes the company is making today.
