Today's Internet environment offers virtually instantaneous access to a level and breadth of information that is unprecedented in human history. For associations and other member-based organizations, the implications are clear:

• A more challenging competitive landscape - Associations must operate under the assumption that all of their members and prospective members are aware of all of their competitors. In addition to attracting new members, associations are under increasing pressure to provide unique programs and services that will prevent their members from moving on.
• Heightened member expectations - Today's association members are increasingly savvy Internet users who regard the association's website as a primary service delivery channel. They expect easy access to valuable and frequently updated information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And they expect to be able to maintain an efficient, highly personalized relationship with the association via its website.
• An opportunity to improve service while reducing cost - By deploying integrated website/member management systems, associations can extensively automate a multitude of member management tasks and processes, thereby reducing administrative cost and effort while providing more responsive and personalized service to members.
