DTS Launches Open Source EAMXML.org Community

The EAMXML data exchange format promises to be a valuable asset throughout the entire EAM community.

Englewood, Colorado – October 15, 2008 – Dimension Technology Solutions (DTS), a leading provider of EAM / CMMS integration solutions, has launched EAMXML.org, a valuable new community focused on developing an open source EAMXML data exchange format to increase innovation throughout the Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) software industry.

"DTS is excited to be one of the charter members of EAMXML.org,” says DTS’ President Bart Lorang. “We believe that by focusing on the entire Enterprise Asset Management data structure spectrum, and not just a specific area, we’ll pave the way for increased innovation when it comes to compatibility between existing EAM and CMMS platforms.”

To Lorang, the industry-wide value of EAMXML.org stems from wise and efficient use of companies’ software development resources. “Organizations can focus dollars on value-add optimization instead of integration techniques,” states Lorang. “EAMXML.org represents the idea that systems should be interoperable and compatible and that interoperability and compatibility should be free for the entire community. Adoption of Web 2.0 technologies in the EAM community requires a new open standard that enables the next generation of applications to be delivered in an open and efficient manner."
