The Register, The Next Platform, Blocks & Files and DevClass. Four specialist newsrooms covering infrastructure, security, AI, cloud and storage, read by 52 million IT specialists and, increasingly, by the machines answering on their behalf.
Enterprise infrastructure, security, AI and cloud. A global
voice on enterprise technology.
Hyperscalers, cloud builders and computing at the
upper limits.
Storage systems, data platforms, and the plumbing
underneath AI.
DevOps, languages, frameworks and engineering practice, for
working developers.The people who have always read us, and the answer engines that read us on their behalf. Both matter, and a specialist newsroom is built for both.
Engineers, architects, directors and the executives who sign for it. They come back because the reporting is independent and it is written by people who understand the technology.
The assistants your buyers now ask first read us constantly, and cite us in the answers they give back. Our journalism sits inside the response, before any search result is seen.
The whole buying committee reads a title in our portfolio. Senior, technical, and back again next week. 63% hold budget authority, and 55% are at organizations of 1,000 people or more.
The first place an enterprise technology buyer goes is no longer the search bar. It is a chat with ChatGPT, a question to Perplexity, an AI Overview at the top of Google, a Copilot pane in Office. One answer, three to five citations, and a shortlist forms in their head before they click anything.

Our robots.txt blocks unlicensed training and welcomes the AI search crawlers that cite and refer. We decide which machines read us, and we are read where it counts.
Gated content is invisible to crawlers, and a vendor's own site loses the queries that decide deals. Independent publications hold the ground.
The Register Intelligence is live. A reader describes what they are trying to solve, in plain language, and the research that answers it is surfaced. A conversation that clarifies before it recommends.
The agent reads intent, pins down the real need, and keeps the reader moving with suggested next questions.
Reporting, research and briefing material going back to 1997 becomes something a reader can interrogate.
Commercial research reaches a reader because it answers the question they came with, at the moment they asked it.
We put the questions that decide budgets to our own readers, and we publish what they tell us. That 69% of buyers shortlist just one to three vendors. That 51% of North American organizations are planning for a recession, the highest of any region. Published since 2025, roughly one report every other month, the five most recent below.
Four newsrooms covering enterprise technology. Free to read, and independent since 1997.
