WELCOME TO OMG ®
WELCOME TO THE OBJECT MANAGEMENT GROUP ® ( OMG ®)
As an international , open membership , not-for-profit technology stan dards consortium , OMG Task Forces develop enterprise integra tion standards for a wide range of technologies and an even wider range of industries .
OMG ’ s roots are in middleware , and one of our most widely deployed standards is the Data-Distribution Service™ standard ( DDS™ ). DDS has already been successfully deployed in private , hybrid and public cloud systems ( including so-called “ fog architectures ”); in mobile systems and of course general web solutions .
But today ’ s computing infrastructure is changing dramatically to support new requirements in design and structure . This is no where more evident than in the Internet of Things ( IoT ), where new types of machines driven by vast , complex industrial , distributed systems , can ’ t operate without connectivity . These new machines will transform our infrastructure into smart freeways , distributed power generation and autonomous driving cars , etc ., revolutionizing the workplace and our lives for years to come .
These new IoT systems need a technology like DDS because it directly addresses real-time systems . It explicitly manages the communications “ data model .” Consequently , it ’ s a “ data-centric ” technology . No matter what application — from financial trading platforms , to medical devices , to smart electrical grids , to exploration and production and to transportation — DDS finds the right data and then communicates it to its intended destination in a reliable , flexible , fast , and secure manner .
IoT will not only fuel innovative business strategies ; it will also disrupt markets that have not been disrupted by the Internet before , bringing huge economic impacts in efficiency and competition . So if your company is just now exploring IoT and is concerned there are so many different middleware standards available , let me make this clear : DDS — as the proven data connectivity standard for IoT — will continue to parallel the groundbreaking growth of IoT in the future .

Chairman and CEO Object Management Group
