JORDAN COMMUNICATIONS / INFORMATION SERVICES MONTHLY (ISM) PARTNERS WITH WHITAKER ASSOCIATES / EUROPEAN DIRECTORY MARKETPLACE (EDM).

Jordan Communications and Whitaker Associates have agreed to a media partnership involving the European Directory Marketplace 2008 (EDM08) (www.EuropeanDirectoryMarketplace.com) conference and Jordan's new publication, Information Services Monthly (ISM) (www.ISMonthly.com).

The launch of the ISM brand includes the magazine and the portal ismonthly.com. The timing is significant as both ISM and EDM see information services evolving in the coming year or two, as demand drives the mobile internet and providers are engaged in a race to develop innovative applications to increase usage, whilst revenue is expected to grow 500% over the next five years.
