The article features the revised web site of DAMA International. DAMA's web site has always been a focal point for finding data management excellence. Anyone visiting www.dama.org can find seminars, classes, symposia, reference reading, data management experts and other relevant information. The site offers everything from the conceptual to the pragmatic. From a more pragmatic view, the site provides information for running a chapter, leads to data-oriented jobs opportunities or experts available for speaking or consulting. However, DAMA realizes that having such resources available is not enough. In today's e-world, web information must not only be available, but also be dynamic, interactive and flexible. To meet this challenge, the DAMA web site is being transformed into a new format and infrastructure. By teaming up with internet4associations.com, the organization produced a new look and feel so users can better understand and use the organization's services. The new features offered on the revamped site at www.dama.org include the automated surveying, voting and quick polls, easily maintainable member demographics in database format by chapters, a site map that is automatically updated and always current and a job posting facility allowing recruiters to create their own secure job lists and job seekers to maintain secure resumes.
