Dear Industrial Automation Community Members,

We're glad to announce that the completion of the new interface and engine of IA-Community Portal is drawing near...

Currently, we have acquired a few sites that are linked to the IA-Community Portal, below are some links:

After 5 years of development, we have finalized our plans of implementation of the portal to serve the industry and readership better. Apart from providing Daily News from the industrial automation sectors worldwide, and dedicated user-interface for each and every (free) subscriber, the portal will be the No.1 Industrial Automation Portal in the world.

Please note: For those who would like to contribute articles to be published in the portal, kindly forward all relevant contents to editor@inter-global.org. Kindly be informed that IA-Community Portal reserves the rights to publish, reject, omit and/or delete any contents recieved, and shall not be liable for any damage claims, suits for libel, violation of rights of privacy and copyright infringements.

Watch out for WHAT'S NEW in the IA-Community Portal !!!

If you have any suggestions to serve you better, kindly feel free to post in this thread.

Cheers...

Hi Nicholas,

The new interface and engine is already ready, we're currently in the midst of testing the entire site for bugs.

For security reasons, we will announce the confirmed date 3 days before the actual Launch Date, as we suspect that there are some companies out there in the neighbouring countries trying to duplicate what we have done. We will launch the new site once our Legal Advisors give us the green light.

Thank you for your understanding

Warmest regards,

Benny Yeo

Impressive... Good to hear that there'll be a dedicated portal for all industrial users. Its been a long time that I've been looking for one, but most of them are based in the States.

I'll surely contribute some articles, hopefully you people will publish it.

Good Day!!

Hi Imperator,

Is it possible for you to list a "readme file" of what is gonna be featured in the new portal. The way it sounds, it seems like its gonna be a million dollar site, another YOUTUBE or something like that

Hope its gonna be user-friendly, coz I've been surfing your site for the past 2 years. It was a bit boring at first, but since you guys have launched the daily news recently, I've been visiting it frequently.

Hey guys, keep it up !!!

Warmest regards,

Thanks Benny, for the info.. Well I guess you guys have been in the industrial automation media for a long time, and to the best of my knowledge, its gonna be difficult for others to duplicate what you've been doing especially in these past years.

And with so many "superb" domain names that your company has acquired, I believe you're gonna put up something "BIG". Keep me informed, I'll be tracking on your new portal.

See ya soon

Hi there,

I've not been posting alot in this forum, but have been visiting quite often as a guest. Just want to know, why is this portal named "IA COMMUNITY"? Is it a virtual community or a real physical community, or its just a name for the sake of branding, like anyone else does?

I have read many of the posts in this forums, and it seems like many people really do know each other in person, especially seeing lots pictures of community gathering, are these the people found in this forum? And if so, how can I join the "physical" community?

Thanks Stanley, for posting this time round, you should be posting here more often

.

Anyway, and yes, you can say its a real live physical "Industrial Automation Community". As Inter-Global Group has been a publisher for more than a decade, specializing to promote industrial technologies and industrial automation, with renowned titles like "Industrial Automation News", "Process Control Magazine", "Test & Measurement News", "Industrial Automation Annual Directory". etc., etc. IA-Community Portal is the result of years of valuable resources and knowledge that from providing quarterly news (in printed magazines) to weekly news release (portal), currently into DAILY NEWS, and more...

We have grown from an industrial publisher, to an industrial media, and in Year 2000, from the mandate of our Chairman, Mr Benny Yeo, he brought us up into Community Building within the industrial sectors. I have to say that it is easier said than done when it comes to community building, as it takes alot of patience, effort and finances to become what we are today. We have also experienced some media and publishing companies who have used our model but failed in the end. The market was confused at a point of time if all were the same, till it was realized that we were the one that made this physical industrial community a reality. And as what Mr Benny Yeo has mentioned earlier in this thread, it is true that there are some companies (within our neighbouring countries) who are trying to duplicate a similar portal, we wish to advise everyone to check with us first if any of them claimed to be related to us.

Well, you can always send an email to Mr Benny Yeo at benny@inter-global.org, as he's still very active and enthusiastic in building a stronger industrial community within Asia, and we hope that all would join our hands to make the industrial world smaller.

Cheers...
