The Open Group: Open Standards and Certification

2 - 6 February 2004

Many organizations now realize the advantages of choosing products that conform to standards. But how do they conform? This conference will consider case studies from organizations that prefer products that are independently certified to conform to standards, and will look at what certification means and some of the processes used for certification.

Attendees will share requirements and experiences of user organizations, understand the approaches being taken by suppliers and government organizations, and network with leading practitioners and thought leaders.
