The Open Services Alliance is comprised of media industry organizations worldwide and is focused on enabling improved open interoperability among service-based applications. We see this as critical with media systems now being hosted on cloud, multi-cloud, and on-prem platforms. Our work will support establishment of standards, best practices, registers, industry awareness and education, and any other tools at our disposal to foster cross-platform and cross-application interoperability.
Goals
Provide a forum for users, vendors, and platform providers to work together toward improved interoperability among service-based applications for media.
Develop and publish documents as needed to further interoperability via appropriate organizations, such as SMPTE.
Educate industry via appropriate means (white papers, talks/panels, presence at industry events, etc.) on the importance of open services-based interoperability among media systems.
