Who Is The Audience?

No Jitter is the must-read for telecom/IT decision-makers within enterprises, and for those who serve these customers: equipment vendors, service providers, the analyst community and consultants.

How Does No Jitter Relate to VoiceCon?

No Jitter enjoys a symbiotic relationship with VoiceCon and its website,www.voicecon.com, the site for the industry's leading conference/tradeshow in its marketplace. No Jitter has access to video, audio and presentations from the VoiceCon events, and in turn will promote registration for the conferences. It will also draw upon many of the experts who speak at VoiceCon.

What about BCR Magazine?

The print magazine will no longer be published, and there will be no online presence for the BCR magazine brand name (although CMP Media's BCR-branded Executive Training programs, www.bcrtraining.com, are enjoying tremendous growth and will continue to be offered throughout the country at corporate locations and in public venues).

However, as we noted above, the vast majority of BCR magazine's stable of outstanding industry experts will continue to be published on No Jitter. In addition, visitors to No Jitter will have access to the outstanding in-depth content from the archives of BCR magazine. For 35 years, BCR has been the trusted name in the analysis of enterprise voice technology trends, and No Jitter will leverage this brand equity.

What Does the Name Mean?

No Jitter refers to one of the important ways of measuring how clearly real-time traffic is being delivered over an IP network. The presence of too much "jitter" in the network hampers effective communications. The name No Jitter describes our goal of delivering information to the website's user with maximum clarity and quality.
