§ 01 — Purpose

Trust is the only audience we answer to.

IT professionals, managers, and executives lead organizations by providing the technology information and advice that helps their organizations grow, and TechRepublic supports them with news stories, insights, features, tutorials and product recommendations they can trust.

We provide critical takeaways for readers who are in a hurry and in-depth analysis and insights for those conducting deep research into products, news and issues.

Our partners and sponsors fund our high-quality journalism and product evaluations, but they do not influence our coverage or editorial decisions. They understand that our value comes from our commitment to providing the best answer to our readers — and that the trust that readers have in us brings the highest-quality audience to our site.

§ 02 — Our Commitment

We are committed to:

Three obligations our readers can hold us to — on every page, every story, every product review.

  1. 01

    Helping IT leaders make great decisions about technology.

  2. 02

    Ensuring those leaders have the knowledge to implement it.

  3. 03

    Understanding how the changing world of technology will eventually impact the organization.

§ 03 — Independence

Editors judge the work. Vendors do not.

The insights and product analysis that appears in our articles reflects the judgment of our editors and writers that this is information our readers need to know — and it passes through multiple layers of review before it appears on our pages. While we have decades of experience in tech, we continuously strive to stay on top of evolving technology.

We may be compensated by vendors who appear on our product review pages through methods such as affiliate links or sponsored partnerships. This may influence how and where their products appear on our site, but vendors cannot pay to influence the content of our reviews.

§ 04 — Translations

About translated content

Some portions of the TechRepublic website have been translated for your convenience using translation software powered by third-party services, including AI-based translators. Reasonable efforts have been made to provide an accurate translation; however, no automated translation is perfect nor is it intended to replace human translators. Translations are provided as a service to users of the TechRepublic website, and are provided “as is.” No warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, is made as to the accuracy, reliability, or correctness of any translations made from English into any other language. Some content (such as images, videos, Flash, etc.) may not be accurately translated due to the limitations of the translation software.
