Certified Open

Managing the risk of lock-in - Open Standards - Open Competition - No Constraints

Contact information:

Bob Blachford

Certified Open™ is designed to help measure and encourage competition through the provision of a framework for evaluating technical and commercial lock-in where that may reduce the ability of suppliers to compete in the provision of software, hardware and services.

Within Certified Open there are two industry-agreed, highly granular, frameworks:-
The Certified Open Products & Services Framework – that defines the characteristics products & services must achieve if they are to be seen as fully open; and
The Certified Open Competency Framework – that defines the skills that IT Professionals should have in order to be proficient in the delivery of open solutions.


***Special Offer Free Product Registration until 28 May 2007*****
