[pane title=”ABOUT THE INSIDER”]

The Industrial Automation and Process Control INSIDER is one of the few “must read” publications in the automation and process control field. It is the only publication in the field that is subscriber-based, and does not take advertising of any kind. The INSIDER is written for automation professionals by automation professionals, and reveals actionable and timely information that users, designers, suppliers, manufacturers, control system integrators, and other automation professionals can use. Published monthly, the INSIDER comments on the news without fear or favor, and provides a look at the profession and the field that appears nowhere else. Featured each month is the Industry Health Watch, a model of the automation vendor community that provides leading indicators on the health of the automation sector. Also featured are commentary from Europe, Asia, South America, and the Editorial by Walt Boyes, long time industry analyst and futurist.
The INSIDER has been published since 1997 when it was originally launched by Andrew Bond as the SCADA Insider. In August 2010, Nick Denbow took over the mantle and the responsibility. Over the years the INSIDER grew as an authoritative source for analysis and commentary on the industry developments. Changing to a digital format and even adding pictures did not change the wit behind the articles nor the will to say what was not addressed in other publications. Often it has been this commentary that has provided the real information for readers.

 
Walt Boyes has been editing the INSIDER since February 2014 when the INSIDER was acquired by Spitzer and Boyes, LLC. Walt promises to expand coverage and continue providing independent reporting, analysis and opinion in this subscription only publication without the influence of advertisers.

I read the INSIDER all the way through. It’s a great publication and should be a must read for anyone in the field. It opened my eyes to things I haven’t been thinking about.
