Since 1989, The Object Management Group has been "Setting The Standards For Distributed Computing" through its mission to promote the theory and practice of object technology for the development of distributed computing systems. Its goal is to provide a common architectural framework for object-oriented applications based on widely available interface specifications.

Within the OMG, MEGA is working within several areas. With regard to the Meta Object Facility (MOF), MEGA is acting as a reviewer of the specification for the purpose of making the MEGA Suite MOF compliant. In the area of IT Asset Management, MEGA is a co-submitter (with SUN, UBS and Adaptive) of a proposal to address the issues involved in mapping knowledge management for IT assets. Finally, MEGA is working within groups focusing on the mapping of UML and XML in order to ensure that a workable standard emerges.
