OMG Announces Morgan Kaufmann Publishers as
Official "OMG Press" Publisher
Needham, MA, USA - July 20, 2005 - The Object Management Group™ (OMG™)
today announced that Morgan Kaufmann (MK) will be its exclusive publishing
partner, with a line of books addressing business and technical topics
related to OMG's large suite of standards in both infrastructure and
vertical market areas. The "OMG Press™" imprint will feature
books about OMG's Model Driven Architecture®, CORBA® and other business
model and technical standards as well as standards in healthcare IT,
financial systems, knowledge-based engineering, regulatory compliance,
business process modeling/execution and business rules, and many other
areas.
MK has more than two decades' experience in publishing the works of
industry-leading researchers and professionals on a range of
computer-related topics. MK will be working with OMG members, who
represent some of the largest and most prestigious software companies in
the world, to publish books about OMG's specifications including Model
Driven Architecture (MDA®), UML® and CORBA. As part of the agreement, MK
will provide discounts on future OMG Press technical publications to all
OMG members.
"OMG standards, educational programs and certification efforts
touch every area of information systems from the CIO's office to
developers," said Dr. Richard Soley, chairman and CEO of OMG.
"This agreement guarantees a consistent stream of books that focuses
on all of those areas, backed by the organization that defines, manages
and owns the standards. With access to the OMG members that actually write
the standards and other leading experts on the subjects, the OMG Press
line will feature books that belong on every IT professional's bookshelf.
We believe that Morgan Kaufmann, with their years of technical publishing
experience and worldwide exposure, is ideally suited to bring OMG-branded
publications to market."
"We're excited to be working with OMG," said Tim Cox, senior
editor at Morgan Kaufmann. "OMG has a long tradition of developing
standards with its membership in an open and accessible manner. This
allows them to respond creatively to new challenges in software
development, such as the domain-specific concerns, which are now a driving
force. Our goal with OMG Press is to help managers and developers
understand and use the next generation of OMG software standards."
