OMG has been an international, open membership, not-for-profit computer industry consortium since 1989. Any organization may join OMG and participate in our standards-setting process. Our one-organization-one-vote policy ensures that every organization, large and small, has a effective voice in our process. Our membership includes hundreds of organizations, with half being software end-users in over two dozen vertical markets, and the other half representing virtually every large organization in the computer industry and many smaller ones. Most of the organizations that shape enterprise and Internet computing today are represented on our Board of Directors.

OMG’s mission is to develop, with our worldwide membership, enterprise integration standards that provide real-world value. OMG is also dedicated to bringing together end-users, government agencies, universities and research institutions in our communities of practice to share experiences in transitioning to new management and technology approaches like Cloud Computing.
