In order to pursue ISOC's strategic initiatives planned through 2010 and beyond, ISOC will depend ever more heavily on cross-organizational teams of geographically dispersed staff and stakeholders collaborating to achieve results. ISOC's management team views the acquisition and implementation of a new Association Management System (AMS), as a key enabler supporting this new approach. The AMS will form the core technology, database, and development environment to be utilized across the organization.
