Connecting the dots between business and technology

Darren McDermott, deputy managing editor of WSJ.com, sent out the following announcement Friday morning about the launch of CIO Journal:

We all know technology is transforming businesses and markets at an accelerating pace. That’s why this week we launched CIO Journal, a specialized online edition of The Wall Street Journal dedicated to business technology.

This is a definitive destination for chief information officers and other senior technology executives, helping them connect the dots between technology trends and business strategy. Its team of reporters and editors, led by editor Michael Hickins, will break news and provide analysis on how companies are using technologies such as the Cloud and Big Data. As with its sister site CFO Journal, CIO Journal combines original reporting with aggregation of news from a variety of sources via Factiva, and provides subscribers with a comprehensive morning newsletter.

I recommend you have a look at CIO Journal, where you’ll find fascinating technology stories on the companies we cover. You may be hearing from Michael and his team as they pursue stories , and I hope you’ll cooperate or even collaborate with them. On the Dow Jones network you can access it via this link, or by clicking the “WSJ Pro” link on NewsNet or MyDowJones. Let me or Michael know if you have questions or suggestions.
