Electronics Industry's UBM Electronics Announces Upcoming Test & Measurement World Community Website Launch Following the Successful EDN.com Launch
SAN FRANCISCO, June 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --UBM Electronics, the daily source of essential business and technical information for the design engineering and electronics industry's decision makers, today announced plans to launch a newly redesigned Test & Measurement World website, building on the success of the EDN.com launch earlier in this month. The new site will better serve the needs of Test & Measurement World's community of electronics design and test engineers, developers, and industry-related management through a more interactive, two-way experience and dialog around key areas of design and test, while providing more opportunities to learn from - and contribute to - the site's vast array of highly technical content, regular blogs on hot topics, networking opportunities, webinars, courses, and tools. With the July website relaunch it will shutter the print version of the brand, making a July/August combined issue the last issue.

"Designers of electronics systems understand that the world is changing rapidly and that test is an increasingly important function at every stage of their design and must be thought of holistically, almost from the very start, if they are to meet their time and budget constraints. The new Test & Measurement World site will be structured precisely to meet those requirements," said Patrick Mannion, Brand Director, EDN, Test & Measurement World, and Embedded.com at UBM Electronics.
Mannion said, "The structure will emphasize the test requirements that design engineers, product engineers, and test engineers need to be aware of along with the logical product development path from design and prototyping, to characterization, to manufacturing, to field service, and to failure analysis."
The main components of the site content include:
-- Technical articles that help engineers understand and apply technology
to their jobs every day;
-- New products and product reviews that help engineers keep abreast of the
latest tools;
-- Blogs that highlight both technical and professional issues of the day;
and
-- Updates and analysis on industry from editors, contributors, and the
engineering community.
Leading the TMWorld.com<cite> </cite>content team is Mannion, who has more than 20 years of editorial experience in the electronics OEM media industry. Additional content staff team members include:
-- Martin Rowe, Senior Technical Editor
-- Janine Love, Senior Editor
-- Larry Desjardin, modular instrumentation and automated test
-- Ransom Stephens, signal integrity, high-speed serial interfaces, and
related standards
-- Kenneth Wyatt, EMC design and test
-- Brad Thompson, engineering consultant
-- The technical staff at the University of New Hampshire Interoperability

"In addition, as our engineering community grows more vocal and engaged online, it's clear that they are not shy about giving their opinion, so we'll be putting these users and their opinions front and center on the site, while also adding personal touches, such as a profile page where users can share a bit about their background and interests, as well as the ability to 'follow' discussions and specific people they find interesting. Users will also be able to upload and share their own content on the site," said Mannion.
"What's also exciting as we dive deeper into interactive online engagement with our community is the opportunity to meet their needs, wherever they are," Mannion added. "Look for a Test & Measurement World app to follow closely on the heels of the site relaunch, followed by a tighter integration of Test & Measurement World with DesignCon, which provides a natural and organic path for our community to carry their conversations and connections forward and enhance them through face-to-face interactions. This is probably the most exciting time in Test & Measurement World's thirty-year history and our team is delighted to be a part of it."
"Through proven community-supporting technologies, mentoring, and education, the new Test & Measurement World provides engineers with the vital information and peer-to-peer resources they need to succeed," said Kathy Astromoff, CEO at UBM Electronics. "The way our audience uses media is changing - whether it's on the go, via multiple devices, or in different formats. We're evolving the Test & Measurement World brand to enable this new interactive, engaged online community to expand and deepen users' engagement with each other, our customers and the electronics ecosystem as a whole, from the designers and innovators themselves, through to the design and test services and technical marketing resources they need to make their design a success. As such, the new Test & Measurement World site and upcoming app are an integral part of our business' strategic growth plan of reach, services, and commerce."
