In the coming weeks we will be announcing the business value survey from the OGC. It would be extremely helpful if your organization (OGC member or not) could help us promote and drive responses to the survey. This means any and all marketing, communications or outreach staff highlighting the availability of the OGC survey internally and also to customers, on websites, in newsletters, in social media, etc. One of the keys to participation in the OGC and using open standards has to be around business value and return on investment. This survey will help us build on past initiatives and feed results into the OGC Business Value Committee for future action and awareness raising. It will also help us with OGC marketing and communications [please visit the new website when you have time: www.opengeospatial.org].
