OMG Member Testimonials
OMG members gain a number of business and technical advantages from
their membership in the OMG. Here's what a few of our members have to
say:
 |
PrismTech is a leading provider of enterprise, real-time and
embedded CORBA technologies. A cornerstone of PrismTech's
strategy since its foundation in 1992 has been the support and
promotion of international standards for distributed computing.
A key element of this strategy has been PrismTech's membership
of the OMG which we joined in 1993.
PrismTech believes that the software industry has benefited
greatly from the OMG's specifications for interoperable
computing as evidenced by the thousands of mission-critical
CORBA applications in use today. Because PrismTech believes so
strongly in the OMG we are prepared to dedicate significant
time, money and resources to it by having PrismTech personnel
contributing to its work (PrismTech’s Chief Architect serves
on the OMG's Architecture Board and PrismTech's CEO serves on
the OMG's Board of Directors), and by sponsoring its technical
workshops and events (including the Workshop on Distributed
Object Computing for Real-time and Embedded Systems and the
Middleware That Works! Seminars).

"The Object Management Group provides an open forum where
we can work together with competitors, partners, and customers
alike to create standards-based technologies. We have found that
this significantly mitigates the risks associated with product
development; but the real benefits are for customers - who use
standards that really work."
---Sean Baker, Chief Corporate Scientist/Co-Founder at IONA,
and OMG Board of Directors member
IONA has been a member of the Object Management Group since
April of 1992, and delivered its first commercially available
CORBA-based Orbix(r) product in 1993. Over the past ten years,
IONA has proven to more than 4,500 customers that it is the only
company capable of solving their most difficult and complex
integration problems.
IONA currently holds elected positions on the Board of
Directors, the Architecture Board & chairs the MARS Task
Force. IONA has contributed to more than 30 OMG technology and
specifications proposals during its decade of membership
including recent examples such as WSDL/SOAP to CORBA, Realtime
Notification, CWM Web Services, C++ 2003, and IDL to Java 2003.

"The Object Management Group has enabled the
pre-competitive creation of open and standards based technology
that is moving the industry toward an interoperable, services
based infrastructure. This is important for MITRE’s
government sponsors who require interoperable, evolvable
commercial systems for mission critical applications. The open,
consensus process enables mitigation of product development
investment risk, reduction of interoperability risk, and also
stimulates reductions in product creation cycles."
---Dr. Mark T. Maybury, Executive Director,
Information Technology Center at MITRE (OMG member since
1992) |

As an OMG member, Unisys is at the forefront of developing the
next
generation of Object Management Group standards for model driven
architectures, which will enable rapid generation and deployment
of
component-based solutions. These architectures promise to increase
the
productivity of organizations using model-based architectures such
as
Unisys Business Blueprinting.
A member since 1992, Unisys has been a major contributor to
OMG's
Model Driven Architecture initiative. Its member representatives
have been
instrumental in driving MDA forward. Unisys now participates on
both OMG's Board of Directors and Architecture Board, which decide
the major technical direction of the group.

“When we joined the OMG, we were speaking with the contacts in the
US and then found out that their Technical Director was based in
the UK near us so we invited him to spend the day with us, which
proved to be invaluable. He spoke to the whole team about OMG
and what was happening within the group so everyone at Objektum
Solutions, both technical and otherwise, could see where they
could get involved and be proactive about being a member. We
also briefly went into the work we were doing on the Objektum
Bridge Suite and automatic software migration, which the
Technical Director was impressed with and is going to come back
so he can understand more and continue building the
relationship.”
