International Business Director David Katch Accepts Invitation as an International Board Member

San Francisco – February 15, 2007 – CMP Technology, a targeted media and marketing solutions company serving the builders, sellers and buyers of technology worldwide, today announced that CMP’s Software Technology Group’s director of international business development David Katch joined Evans Data Corporation’s (http://evansdata.com) International Advisory Board.

EDC’s International Advisory Board has been developed to augment its well-established domestic board. The new board will facilitate the exchange of cross-country research ideas and information on the global software ecosystem, and provide greater insight into international developer issues, concerns and trends. Latin America, Australia, Europe, Russia, Asia Pacific, India, China, Israel and the United States are all represented through members from companies such as IBM, Nokia, Motorola, Telstra, inalambris Consultors Mobilis, and Navteq.

"Dr. Dobb’s global commitment, outlook and market penetration is reinforced by its successful conference launch in India and its upcoming conference in Moscow,” stated EDC president John Andrews. “As a driving force behind Dr. Dobb’s international events, David Katch is perfectly positioned to help identify the market’s research needs and shed light on the international landscape.”

CMP’s Software Technology Group’s vice president Kerry Gates says, "No other media company has a representative on this board and EDC’s choice in Katch underscores his international expertise, as well as Dr. Dobb's leadership position and commitment to the global marketplace. Regularly communicating with other industry leaders from around the world will strengthen CMP’s international savvy, in turn increasing CMP’s value to its marketing partners."

A few of CMP’s recent and upcoming international efforts include Software Development Best Practices (SDBP) India, SDBP Moscow, Exchange Eastern Europe, Embedded Systems Conference China, Black Hat Europe, Interop Moscow, and Interop Tokyo.
