Eclipse is an open platform for tool integration built by an open community of tool providers. Operating under an open source paradigm, with a common public license that provides royalty free source code and world wide redistribution rights, the eclipse platform provides tool developers with ultimate flexibility and control over their software technology.

InferData is active in the Eclipse community, providing training on advanced Eclipse topics, such as development of Eclipse Plugins and use of Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF). InferData is also one of the initiators of the Eclipse Graphical Modeling Framework  (GMF) technology project.

The OMG was formed to create a component-based software marketplace by accelerating the introduction of standardized object software. The organization's charter includes the establishment of industry guidelines and detailed object management specifications to provide a common framework for application development. Through the OMG's commitment to developing technically excellent, commercially viable and vendor independent specifications for the software industry, the consortium now includes approximately 800 members. The OMG is moving forward in establishing the Model Driven Architecture as the "Architecture of Choice for a Connected World" through its worldwide standard specifications including UML, XMI, MOF, and CORBA ®, family of specifications.

The Operations Support Systems (OSS) through Java Initiative produces a standard set of Java technology-based APIs that support the business and technology goals of the lean telecom operator:
