Abstract:

EIA is currently developing a new agency-wide Internet data collection system called ISMS. Once developed, ISMS will standardize survey forms creation, the collection of respondent data, and the data processing procedures used by the individual project area at EIA. The system's success, however, requires a diverse group of individuals to work together to develop, test, and finalize ISMS in a timely manner. This requires each individual to not only present their area of expertise but also requires cooperation and understanding across different areas and different disciplines. This mix of individuals keeps the project both interesting and challenging as it often forces us to look outside our personal expertise to other areas across the agency. It is also rewarding to know that decisions that I help to make now will affect the future of Internet data collection for the entire agency.
