iSixSigma is an indispensable source for fast and useful information. It has made it easier for me to recruit talent, search for training partners and the latest software tools, and share information with the rest of the Six Sigma community. It is the best source that I know for getting the information I need. I recommend it to every quality professional.

CTQ Media, a division of Ideal Media LLC, is a privately held, high-tech media company founded in 2000 by business veterans from General Electric. Because of the value it provides, CTQ Media reaches the most influential business readers through its integrated online, print, events and research channels.

CTQ Media's information products serve business managers and executives with timely and relevant content, information and news. Our B2B products also serve a large number of successful companies with targeted print and online advertising, market research, face-to-face and direct-marketing opportunities.

Electronic newsletters from CTQ Media's iSixSigma.com property are emailed to more than 100,000 subscribers. More than 44,000 subscribers receive the iSixSigma Insights newsletter twice a week. An average of 500,000 business professionals visit the iSixSigma.com Web site each month. The premiere issue of iSixSigma Magazine was published in January 2005 and has an entirely paid circulation. More companies run display ads in iSixSigma Magazine than in any other business process improvement publication.

And CTQ Media continues to grow. In fall of 2005, CTQ Media acquired Sourcingmag.com, the leading independent portal dedicated to IT and business process outsourcing, and in January 2006 started a portal focused on business process management, BPMEnterprise.com. In fall of 2006, The TRIZ Journal was acquired and rolled under a new portal focused on systematic innovation, called Real Innovation. Additional acquisitions and new ventures are constantly being evaluated.

In addition to print and digital publications, CTQ Media has developed strategic alliances which involve it in the design and production of 400+ person events such as the ISSSP Six Sigma Leadership Conference, the IQPC Lean Six Sigma Miami Summit, and the IQPC European Summit.

CTQ Media carefully guards its professional objectivity by not including among its holdings any consulting firms. The company’s goal is to provide unbiased information, research and knowledge to companies interested in improving business execution.
