Open Group initiative

Following from the EU PROMISE project, the Open Group is planning to launch an initiative to develop an information exchange environment for lifecycle management. I believe we will need to ensure that the claim of interoperability is respected. Webinar is 1500 UK 18 February, in case you saved the time from Chris's original email.

The Open Group webinar entitled "Quantum Lifecycle Management - Why do we need QLM and how will it change the way we practice PLM?" is on February 18th, 2010 at 15:00 GMT.

The webinar will explain the rationale for The Open Group's QLM Consortium and its aim to develop an open and trustworthy information exchange environment for whole-of-life lifecycle management.

This will involve interoperability with existing PLM standards while creating a new open framework that will facilitate the discovery and exchange of whole-of-life lifecycle information.

It will enable the integration of new information sources such as wireless sensors and entities that are part of the "Internet of Things", to create essential new business opportunities.

David Potter is Chief Technical Officer, Promise Innovation International Oy, and former Chairman of the Project Steering Board of the EU PROMISE Project.
