Through The Open Group, customers, independent software vendors and system vendors work in collaboration with other consortia and standards bodies on specifications and open source technologies for enterprise management.
The OpenPegasus Project comprises system vendors and independent software vendors who together have produced and continue to evolve an open source implementation of the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) Common Information Model (CIM) and Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) standards.
The Enterprise Management Forum works to develop a common manageability infrastructure that can be used by both application developers and management system vendors to construct effective solutions without artificial barriers to their management.
The Open Group Quantum Lifecycle Management (QLM) Work Group provides the framework to develop and consolidate the open standards necessary to enable lifecycle management to evolve beyond the traditional limits of product lifecycle management (PLM).
