EDM Association Acquires Assets of Object Management Group
EDM Association, the global trade association for data management and technology standards, announces the successful completion of its acquisition of the assets of the Object Management Group® (OMG®), the open membership, not-for-profit technology consortium. This unites two organizations with complementary expertise, creating the world’s largest association for data, software, systems, and standards professionals.
The acquisition strategically aligns OMG’s globally adopted standards, frameworks, and communities—including the OMG Standards Development Organization (SDO), Digital Twin Consortium®, AREA (Augmented Reality for Enterprise Alliance), and CISQ™ (Consortium for Information and Software Quality)—with EDM Association’s data management best practices and professional development programs. By leveraging a single authoritative standards partner and global expert community, members will have a wider range of tools, support, training and expertise to advance data and technology, including AI, to drive better outcomes for their organizations.
We’re excited about the EDM Association’s acquisition of OMG. This marks a pivotal moment for our industry, uniting two world-class communities—data management and systems engineering standardization—into a single, more influential force
says @GW, Ph.D., VP at Dassault Systèmes and member of the Object Management Group Board
With its unique position at the intersection of data, enterprise, systems, and software, EDM Association is well equipped to lead in this era of AI and digital transformation. I look forward to working closely with EDM Association’s leadership and supporting the association in fully realizing this potential.
