Clients & Samples
Triangle's
clients span a wide range of categories, including information technology,
finance and healthcare. While the objectives of our clients are very different,
each project requires speed, proficiency, quality and an expert product
knowledge. And that's just what Triangle has been providing to vendors,
institutions and publishers since 1994.
Here's how Triangle
has addressed and met some of our clients' challenges...
BusinessWeek
When the world's largest business magazine needed to produce
several Special Advertising Sections, it contacted Triangle, but for more
than one reason. "We chose Triangle for several reasons, but clearly the
dominant reason was superb quality," said BusinessWeek's Jim Richardson,
Vice President of Strategic Programs. "In reviewing what Triangle has
done, it was clear that they understand these issues and how to craft
highly readable copy, even when dealing with extremely complex technology.
To tell stories that are this technical and have them still be so easily
understood by a non-technical executive is an art."
Richardson, however,
said Triangle's services also went well beyond print content. "We were
quite impressed with the comprehensiveness and diversity of Triangle's
services," he said. "There are simply not that many publishing services
companies that can deliver the multimedia, print, IT and online expertise,
plus sales and sales support, art and production services."
BusinessWeek relied
on Triangle's writing operation to produce both Web and print content,
Triangle's art unit to create and manage the series' look-and-feel and
Triangle's Publishing Services group to literally sell the advertisements
in the Special Advertising Sections in conjunction with the BusinessWeek
sales staff.
Here are several of our finished packages.

Microsoft,
OEM Connect
Triangle helped Microsoft Corp.'s OEM Marketing unit develop and maintain a Web site for personal computer, server and other computer equipment using Windows, Office or other Microsoft software. Triangle creates new content each week, assists in design and development of the site, and prepares a bi-monthly newsletter for the thousands of OEMs who subscribe to the restricted-access site.
The content is designed to help OEMs increase their sales and profitability
by providing insight from highly regarded third parties such as Gartner, IDC,
Yankee Group, PRTM, McKinsey and Forrester. The articles Triangle produces
include insights about market trends, technology road maps and product design
ideas. You can check out a sampling our content here.
Microsoft,
edirections
Microsoft wanted to have a technical magazine that detailed the strategic
and programming advantages of its platform. edirections looked
at that issue, twice, once from a general
management approach and once from a more technical approach that focused
on its new .NET strategy.
One of the stories in the most recent package looked at the personalization
trend for B2B.
Microsoft,
Enterprise
Establishing itself as a knowledgeable provider of enterprise solutions
and information was the goal set by Microsoft. The company wanted a new
Web site dedicated to providing information and insights to CIOs and other
senior IT managers, and wanted the robust site to be operational in roughly
eight weeks.
Triangle and its partner,
the custom publishing unit of CIO Communications, assembled a team of
editors, writers, designers and programmers to deliver an interactive
site on schedule. The equivalent of 75 pages of editorial material was
conceived, researched, written, edited and posted on a Web site largely
designed by the CIO/Triangle team. And the site went live the week it was promised. CIO/Triangle maintained the site, providing a constant flow of unique and engaging editorial content, interactive features and other activities through May 2000.
While the site is no longer available, you can see a series of excerpts here:

This
hot new publishing phenomenon wanted to launch a custom publishing program for
its Storage Magazine and related Web site, and turned to Triangle for help.
We developed a custom publishing program, conducted training sessions for the
sales reps and completed the first special
ad section on time and on budget. Furthermore, the sponsor and other advertisers
all commended TechTarget for the quality of the finished section as well as the
process and performance of Triangle.
In
February 2006 for TechTarget's Storage Magazine
we produced a special advertising section sponsored by Microsoft on its
Storage Ecosystem entitled "Calm
the Enterprise Data Storm—the Easy Way."
IBM
When
the world's largest computer vendor—IBM—needed to position its value-add
in e-commerce circles, it needed help from a firm with a sharp understanding
of the needs of its various audiences as well as the ability to explain
complicated technologies in an easily absorbed way. The company relied
on Triangle. Triangle created several columns for IBM, which appeared
in various national publications, on many aspects of e-commerce and the
Internet.
Compaq
Computer
When Compaq needed to communicate the power of its Alpha microprocessors,
it turned to CXO Media and Triangle to create ExtremeBusiness.
With stories examining speed and various hardware support advantages,
we were able to deliver a magazine that communicated Compaq's key messages
to its audience.
Intuit
When
consumer finance giant Intuit--makers of Quicken, TurboTax and QuickBooks--decided
it needed to further extend its consumer finance expertise to the public
radio airwaves, it relied on multimedia and editorial help from Triangle.
Triangle researched, wrote, co-narrated and created a series of personal
finance reports for national broadcast for Intuit. The final format here
was not streaming audio; burned CDs full of WAV files were the mode of
transport. Intuit later turned to Triangle to create a nationally published
column about the company's thoughts about e-signatures.
CFO Enterprises,
CFO Magazine
CFO Enterprises, the
research and conference arm of CFO Magazine, relies on Triangle
to help it provide whitepapers and other strategic content to its customers,
including American Express, Getronics and Employease. Triangle has assisted
in survey development, interviews, other research, writing, editing, design
and production. Here are some examples:
CFO
Mind Shift: Technology Creates Value
Not
Small Change: Outsourcing HR Applications Offers More Than Financial Benefits
For CFO Magazine
in February 2006 we produced a special advertising section sponsored
by Cognos entitled "Solving
the Performance Challenge."
DoubleClick
Web marketing powerhouse DoubleClick decided to move into
a variety of new areas, and it needed to explain its approaches to audiences
of investors, customers and potential partners. DoubleClick retained Triangle's
services to create white papers looking at issues including InteractiveTV.
Triangle looked at the U.S. and European approaches and projected where
the technology would lead marketers.
MIT
Sloan Management Review
When the editor in chief of this prestigious academic journal resigned,
Triangle was asked to step in and provide a senior-level editorial executive.
SMR wanted someone familiar and well-versed with its audience and editorial
direction to help the publication during the transition to a new editorial
team. Triangle provided writing, editing and management consulting services
to the SMR publisher.
Cable
& Wireless
Cable
& Wireless is one of the world's largest telecommunications firms
and stands as the largest or second-largest ISP in the United States,
Europe and Asia. But when it needed someone to help articulate its application
service provider (ASP) position for major keynote speeches, it relied
on Triangle. Triangle performed research and writing services to help
communicate the C&W message from audiences as diverse as technology
buyers to ISPs to financial investors.
CMP
Media, Electronics Group
In December 2000, CMP Media needed help creating a 112-page editorial
supplement on trading exchanges for the electronics industry. Triangle
managed all content for E-Sources, including pieces looking at
Web development, the shakeout among early exchanges and the human-resource
impact. In one recent report, we looked at the Electronics
Exchange Wars.
CMP Media, InformationWeek
When this publisher
of Information Week magazine wanted to launch a series of supplements
focusing on specific subjects, the existing editorial staff was not able
to handle the load. So Information Week turned to Triangle to produce
the six supplements, each on a different subject. Triangle conceived the
subjects of the articles, found the appropriate writers and editors and
built the pages using the client's Quark template and Triangle art and
design resources. The
series of supplements was a financial and editorial success. Once the
concept was proven, Information Week hired full-time resources
to continue the program.
Computerworld
Computerworld began a strategic effort to penetrate some
vertical markets. It identified financial services as one of four market
opportunities for customized magazine supplements to be inserted into
the existing weekly newspaper. Computerworld contacted Triangle
and requested the first of a series of bimonthly supplements to be delivered
in one month. Triangle delivered a 12-page supplement suitable for insertion
into Computerworld in the given time period. In addition, for a
year Triangle provided the bimonthly magazine with marketing support and
strategic planning services.
Peppers
and Rogers Group
When Peppers
and Rogers Group (PRG), a company offering thought leadership and strategic
consulting services to businesses seeking to increase customer loyalty,
satisfaction and profitability, determined there was no authoritative
voice or publication dedicated specifically to personalization technologies
that create one-to-one customer relationships, it turned to Triangle.
Clearly, the opportunity to launch a publication and reach an audience
was there. (See our news release.)
Looking for a complete solutions package, PRG retained Triangle to help
it create and launch the premiere issue of 1to1 Personalization: The
Guide To Insights, Issues & Trends, published in November 2000.
In addition to creating its content and editorial direction, Triangle
was enlisted to provide pre-press, print production and fulfillment services
for the magazine, along with the merchandising services
associated with issue distribution at an upcoming tradeshow.
masg.com
When masg.com,
a site that offers information about software used by manufacturers, wanted
to expand the site's content, Triangle was able to help in several key
areas. As e-commerce
exploded in the market, masg.com needed to expand its database of functions
that site visitors use to build a purchasing specification. In addition,
the site needed explanatory content, case studies, market analyses and
other supplemental information.
Triangle now provides
this content on a regular basis. We produce monthly in-depth reports on
implementation strategies and weekly opinion columns. Site visitors also
experience audio comments from experts inserted into the articles, using
Triangle's Patent-Pending Multimedia Feature Article technology.
Furthermore, Triangle
maintains the extensive and detailed database of enterprise application
and manufacturing point solutions and services. masg.com uses the database
and its search tools to help manufacturers identify which software products
provide the required functionality.
Authentify
Security
firm Authentify needed help explaining its unique approach to authentification
and Triangle proposed an in-depth white paper on the topic. A Triangle
veteran security journalist worked closely with the company and, with
an urgent tradeshow deadline as a goal, Triangle's editorial management,
writers and copy editors worked nights and weekends to turn content around
in less than one week.
SAP
The rapid rise of the
Internet as the preferred conduit for business-to-business commerce demanded
a quick response by SAP, the leading vendor of enterprise software. SAP
turned to Triangle to provide strategy, design and content for its new
business-to-business e-commerce site, mySAP.com. Within six weeks, Triangle
had supplied content, strategy, editorial direction and other management
services for SAP, including support for its internal resources.
Penton Media
Penton
Media's flagship publication—Internet World Magazine (formerly
WebWeek)—decided it needed to put its money where its readers
were and deploy leading-edge streaming multimedia content on its site.
It turned to Triangle. Within a month, Triangle had created an editorial
package and launched Internet World Radio. Triangle mastered the editorial
voice of that publication and prepared detailed reports on key topics
involving doing business on the Internet. Triangle managed the process
from concept to execution to FTPing the client finished encoded audio
files, ready for immediate posting. On-site tradeshow coverage was also
provided, when needed.
TechOnLine
In a market crowded with competitors, this Web site for electronics engineers
began providing daily news items about new products and other announcements.
Senior TechOnline executives realized they needed some short-term support
to fill a gap as they were staffing up with full-time help. The Web publisher
turned to Triangle for a short-term staffing and content solution, and
for six weeks Triangle provided six news stories a day, as well as editing
and project management. Our content was delivered on time and gave a new
full-time staff a chance to establish itself and provide its own content.
edu.com
A month before the launch of a new Web site for college students, the
owners of edu.com realized that they needed a variety of buyers' guides
on various technologies and products of interest to the target market.
Triangle was able to deliver 27 buyers guides, on a variety of technology
subjects, in three weeks.
Edu.com then requested
a series of commentaries on new technologies and their use. Again, Triangle
was able to deliver a large quantity of high quality material in a short
amount of time.
