SD TIMES TO PUBLISH COMPONENT SUPPLEMENT

Special supplement to focus on critical buy-vs.-build issues
within the Windows .NET component marketplace

Oyster Bay, N.Y., March 3, 2003 - BZ Media's SD Times, the newspaper for the software development industry, today announced "Building Blocks For Microsoft .NET: The Case for Reusable Components," a special advertising supplement to be distributed with the May 1, 2003, issue of SD Times.

"Building Blocks" will also be distributed to an estimated 12,000 attendees of Microsoft's Tech-Ed conference, scheduled for June 1-6, in Dallas.

The supplement will open with an introduction by Alan Zeichick, editor-in-chief of SD Times, that will highlight the use of components in .NET development.

Dave Quigley, executive director of the Component Vendor Consortium, will write a two-page article presenting the business case for reusable components. This article will be followed by company profiles of leading component vendors, focusing on their approach to the buy-vs.-build issue.

Ted Bahr, president of BZ Media LLC and publisher of SD Times, said, "We are delighted to be working with the Component Vendor Consortium, as well as the leading component vendors, to highlight the buy-vs.-build factors inherent in the Windows .NET component market with this special supplement. Software development managers need to hear this message -- that components can help them deliver their applications faster, and at a potentially huge reduced cost."

David Quigley, executive director of the Component Vendor Consortium, said, "The value equation is built on pure economics and critical business need. Many of the leading Windows and .NET components comprise hundreds of thousands of lines of source code, and thousands of programmer-hours of development, evolution and quality assurance. With today's dominant business goals of reducing time-to-market, increasing market agility and enhancing reliability for new development projects, the tremendous value of component reuse can't be ignored."

Component vendors who wish to participate in the "Building Blocks For Microsoft .NET" supplement should contact Ted Bahr at ted@bzmedia.com, or +1 516.922.2101 x101.
