Westborough, MA USA (ots) - --News Direct--

The Channel Company, global provider of news, insights, strategy, events, and
marketing services for the technology industry, today completed the acquisition
of the technology division of Incisive Media, which includes the media and event
brands of CRN UK, Channel Partner Insight, and Computing.

This strategic acquisition reunites CRN and CRN UK under the same company and
provides the opportunity to link the Computing brand with The Channel Company's
Midsize Enterprise Services brand in a powerful, connected, global end-user
community.

"We are excited to formalise the addition of Incisive's technology brands into
our portfolio. This acquisition results in a leading position for The Channel
Company in content and events in both the US and EMEA while the reunification of
US and UK CRN brands will provide great benefit to both our audiences and
clients", said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company.

About the Brands

technology channel. The brand is a focal point for face-to-face events,
including the largest event on the UK IT channel calendar, the CRN Channel

brand Computing, shows the brand's ability to innovate with an event that
features networking, mentoring, and workshops for a global audience.

transatlantic view of the IT channel market and pioneered the ranking of the

for IT - is the largest and most prestigious awards ceremony for the industry,

New Global Opportunities

bChannels earlier this year, creates a powerful portfolio of solutions that will
transform how we enable our clients to win anywhere in the world," said Blaine
Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company.

The organisations share a common vision and culture to provide clients with the
best possible outcomes, continued career development opportunities for
employees, and a bold commitment to strategic growth for the company. Clients of
