Computer Review

Computer Review (Компьютерное Обозрение / Комп'ютерний Огляд) is a Ukrainian trade publication aimed at IT professionals. It was founded in May 1995 and, until 2010, was published as a print weekly — reportedly the first full-colour weekly in Ukraine. From 2011 the project moved to an electronic format, publishing a weekly digest, while its website ko.com.ua operates as a daily news and community portal. The publication's audience spans both the supply side of the IT market — vendors, distributors and service providers offering IT products, solutions and services — and the demand side, i.e. professionals responsible for implementing information technology in companies of various sizes. The editorial team produces more than twenty news items and reports per day, covering topics such as cloud computing, hardware, software, networking, security, science and IoT. It also runs regular blitz surveys of market participants on topical issues. Beyond news, ko.com.ua hosts personal blogs written by both professional journalists and market experts, announcements of industry events, and information about promotions run by IT companies. The site also organises and publicises several flagship editorial projects, including the BEST CIO award recognising the most professional IT managers and leaders, the 'Person of the Year' vote on contributions to the Ukrainian IT market, and the 'Product of the Year' awards for outstanding IT goods. The portal carries advertising and special partner projects with technology vendors such as Check Point, HPE, Lenovo ISG, WD, QNAP and GigaCloud. Computer Review is a privately held Ukrainian media brand. Its content is primarily Russian-language, with a Ukrainian-language edition and news sections, and it remains an active reference point for the Ukrainian IT channel and enterprise IT community.

Computer Review was founded in May 1995 as a Russian-language publication targeting IT professionals. Until 2010 it appeared in print and was, according to its Ukrainian Wikipedia entry, the first full-colour weekly in Ukraine. The print era established the title as a reference for the emerging Ukrainian IT market, covering hardware, software, networking and the growing channel of distributors and system integrators. From 2011 the project transitioned to an electronic format, with a weekly digest replacing the paper edition. The website ko.com.ua became the main platform, publishing more than twenty news items and reports daily and hosting personal blogs by professional journalists and market experts, announcements of industry events, and information about promotions run by IT companies. The editorial team also conducts regular blitz surveys of market participants on topical issues. Over time the portal developed several flagship editorial initiatives. The BEST CIO award recognises the most professional IT managers, leaders and experts in their industries; the 'Person of the Year' vote asks readers who contributed most to the development of the Ukrainian IT market; and the 'Product of the Year' awards honour the most outstanding IT goods. The site also runs special partner projects with technology vendors such as Check Point, HPE, Lenovo ISG, WD, QNAP and GigaCloud, and carries advertising alongside its editorial content. The publication's coverage has evolved with the market, spanning cloud computing, hardware, software, networking, security, science and IoT. It remains an active Ukrainian media brand serving the IT channel and enterprise IT community.
