Object Management Group Announces Responsible Computing with Founding Members IBM and Dell
New consortium to focus on sustainable development goals
BARCELONA —Object Management Group announced Responsible Computing, a new consortium comprised of technology innovators working together to address sustainable development goals. Responsible computing is a systemic approach aimed at addressing current and future challenges in computing, including sustainability, ethics, and professionalism, stemming from the belief that we need to start thinking about technology in terms of its impact on people and the planet.
“Responsible Computing aims to shift thinking and, ultimately, behavior within the IT industry and effect real change,” said Bill Hoffman, chairman and CEO of RC and OMG. “We’ve made our manifesto and framework freely available, and we’ve asked every RC member to implement RC principles. Our goal is that, someday, every IT professional will adhere to RC principles.”
