The Open Group is involved in the procurement equation when it is applied to open information technology systems. In short, we simplify open systems procurement.

We have tools which can be very helpful to commercial, government and military buyers ... and the experience to utilize them.

Through user and industry participation, we prioritise open systems requirements and integrate existing standards (formal approved de jure standards where they exist, otherwise widely supported de facto standards) in order to produce a single, coherent, integrated and controlled open systems definition with international buyer and IT industry agreement.

This can then be translated by vendors into widely available products carrying the Open Brand.
