The Quantum Lifecycle Management (QLM) Consortium is taking advantage of the Plato site offered to qualified groups interested in forming consortia under the auspices of The Open Group. The Open Group's Collaboration Services Team will help the group throughout its lifecycle: from formation - through standards development - to facilitating market impact of the group’s standards. We are pleased to offer the use of our collaboration tool set to the QLM Consortium to help focus their energies on solving their real business problems and ultimately helping the consortium in Making Standards Work™.
About the QLM Consortium
Quantum Lifecycle Management (QLM) standards are necessary to support the natural progression and extension of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). Their scope greatly exceeds product lifecycle management, exploiting common information exchange technologies to embrace other lifecycles including healthcare, supply chain and logistics, food, beverage, pharmaceutical pedigree and traceability, among many others. The quantum leap implied in the name is relevant because of the effect of harnessing the technologies and direction of the “Internet of Things”, embracing the trillions of additional entities that will be introduced to the challenge of lifecycle management. The QLM Consortium provides the forum to develop and consolidate the open standards necessary to address these advances.
Contribution to standards was a major objective of the EU PROMISE project and a number of former project partners are determined to further the development and acceptance of the initial architecture and interfaces developed during the project in collaboration with other similarly motivated organizations.
The key objective of this group is to build on the PROMISE project achievements by further establishing and promoting relevant standardization activities. To accomplish this objective, we are forming the QLM Consortium under the auspices of The Open Group (www.opengroup.org), an international vendor-neutral and technology-neutral consortium, to bring vendors and consumers together to continue the collaboration of the previous project and build on the prior achievements in the creation and promotion of open standards. We are currently seeking interested parties to join us in the pre-launch phase of this consortium.
