Open Platform 3.0™ Forum

Objectives

The purpose of The Open Group's Open Platform 3.0™ Forum is to help organizations to take advantage of the convergence of modern technologies like Cloud, Social, Mobile Computing and Big Data.

This will be accomplished by identifying a set of new platform capabilities, and architecting and standardizing an IT platform by which enterprises can reap the business benefits of Open Platform 3.0.

Benefits

The benefits of Open Platform 3.0 Forum are to enable organizations to:

Process data “in the Cloud”
Integrate mobile devices with enterprise computing
Incorporate new sources of data, including social media and sensors in the Internet of Things
Manage and share data that has high volume, velocity, variety, and distribution
Turn the data into usable information through correlation, fusion, analysis, and visualization

Deliverables

The first deliverables will analyze the use of Cloud, Social, and Mobile Computing, and Big Data, and describe the business benefits that enterprises can gain from them.

The Forum will then proceed to describe the new IT platform in the light of this analysis. Owing to the nature of the forum, the Platform 3.0 Forum also incorporates work underway in this area by The Open Group’s existing Cloud Work Group, and would coordinate with other forums for specific overlapping or cross-cutting activities.

Membership

The Open Platform 3.0 Forum consists of sponsor members, principal members, and associate members. The current member list will be available to view shortly.
