(TAMPA, FLORIDA, USA, 28 JANUARY 2009) – ISPE, a global not-for-profit association of 24,000 technical professionals working in the manufacturing and drug development sectors of the pharmaceutical industry, announced the implementation of a new Content Management System (CMS) that has provided increased functionality and power to many of the ISPE Web site features.
Some of the new features at www.ISPE.org include increased search functionality and new views and filters that allow users to zero in on events of interest on the ISPE Event Calendar. In particular, the more robust search feature and broader tagging of content are designed to add even greater value to Members in search of solutions and information from ISPE.
In addition, ISPE Members will experience a new, individualized landing page tailored to their Member type, Affiliate/Chapter, and selected Areas of Interest. Each Member can easily update their contact information; renew their Membership online; view ISPE education, purchase, and activity history; set their email preferences; access news directly from their Affiliate or Chapter; view all upcoming international events for which they are registered; find content tagged for their chosen Area(s) of Interest, and save specific ISPE Web pages for future reference. Improvements to the web site navigation are expected to be implemented later this year.
