Open Mobile Alliance 1 2 3 4 Vision and Mission of OMA OMA s Market Position & Industry Benefits Structure & Scope OMA Interoperability & Service Enablers 5 Summary 2
OMA Vision No matter what device I have, no matter what service I want, no matter what carrier or network I m using, I can communicate, access and exchange information. 3
OMA Mission The mission of the Open Mobile Alliance is to facilitate global user adoption of mobile data services by specifying market driven mobile service enablers that ensure service interoperability across devices, geographies, service providers, operators, and networks while allowing businesses to compete through innovation and differentiation. 4
OMA: Strength in Numbers Over 380 OMA member companies represent a truly global organization with members from all regions of the world OMA Regional Membership 22 134 156 83 Americas Asia Europe Middle East 5
Why OMA is the Right Solution for the Mobile Industry? Open, interoperable specifications implemented by multiple vendors can result it: De-facto interoperability between geographies, Enriched user experience across service providers Compelling new business opportunities through a global market Faster time to market Reduced R&D costs 6
Current Cooperation Agreements and Frameworks in Place 3GPP 3GPP2 CDG ETSI GSMA IETF IFPI ITU-T Liberty Alliance MeT MOBEY Forum MPA MPF OASIS Parlay PayCircle RIAA WiFi Alliance W3C 7
Scope of OMA Deliverables OMA generated specifications Based on market-driven requirements and use cases OMA Release Programme Delivers complete specifications packaged into Enabler Releases Enabler Releases may consist of one or more specifications OMA testing Verifies Enabler Releases in interoperability test events for products built using OMA technical specifications Enabler Releases used by different organizations to develop differentiating interoperable products and services Enabler Test Specifications to be used in OMA interoperability test events or other interoperability testings Others Reports, analyses, white papers, industry studies etc. 8
Consolidation of Industry Organizations To date, six affiliates have consolidated into OMA SyncML initiative Wireless Village LIF MMS-IOP MGIF MWIF Data Synchronization WG, Device Management WG Messaging WG, Presence and Availability WG Location WG Mobile Applications WG and IOP WG Games Services WG Work continues throughout the organization In addition, work inherited from WAP Forum continues throughout the organization 9
OMA Release Program OMA working process is a market driven, continuous program designed to deliver three key milestones Phase 1: Candidate Enabler Release An approved set of open technical specifications forming an enabler that can be implemented in products and solutions and which can be tested for interoperability Phase 2: Approved Enabler Release The enabler has successfully passed interoperability tests Phase 3: OMA Interoperability Release To ensure products and services supporting selected combinations of OMA Service Enabler work together seamlessly end to end 10
