EAGAN, Minn.--WAM!NET Inc., a leading provider of digital content management services, announced today that it has been selected by Forbes to provide fast, secure network connectivity between the publisher's U.S. headquarters in New York and Time Printing, its Singapore-based printer, for production of Forbes Global, the international edition of Forbes magazine. Leveraging WAM!NET's Managed Network Services, content for Forbes Global is delivered to Time Printing which, in turn, is able to print and deliver the issue to newsstands throughout Asia eight days sooner than with traditional print-and-transport delivery methods. The resulting time savings allows Forbes to provide readers in both Asia and North America with timely, simultaneous editorial without incurring the higher costs associated with alternative shipping methods. WAM!NET already provides network connectivity between the U.S. and France for distribution of Forbes Global. Combined, the edition now reaches more than 96,000 readers in the Pacific Rim and Europe "WAM!NET is an integral component of our success in producing timely international editions, and in enhancing the value of these products to our readers," said Peter Pallans, director of manufacturing and production at Forbes in New York City. "By using WAM!NET's high-speed networking services from the U.S. to both Europe and Asia, we can keep the editorial and advertising deadlines open longer, allowing us to keep Forbes Global current." "WAM!NET's portfolio of network, storage, hosting and professional services helps customers reduce costs and cycle times and drive productivity improvements," said Brent Bauer, vice president, Corporate Marketing, WAM!NET, Inc. "We are proud to support Forbes' global initiatives, both with the European edition and the recent expansion into Singapore."
