A new champion for preventing vendor lock-in in the cloud

This week the Open Group announced the formation of its Cloud Work Group, which is being established to ensure the effective and secure use of cloud computing in the context of enterprise architecture, as well as to continue previous Open Group efforts to develop and promote standards for the cloud that prevent vendor lock-in.

I find the Open Group’s thinking around the use of cloud computing in traditional enterprise architecture frameworks and in SOA more advanced than that of the other working groups and standards organizations I deal with.

The Open Group is looking at architecture and interoperability issues in a good way. Let’s hope they succeed in helping the cloud evolve as it should
