The DMTF has established itself as the organization to bring together key technology vendors, government organizations and end users for the development, adoption, and interoperability of management standards and initiatives for enterprise and Internet environments. Members of the DMTF benefit from:

• Front-line access to information about DMTF standards
• The opportunity to participate in the process of defining these standards
• The synergy of working with others who are addressing similar implementation issues

Organizations that fit any one of the following categories should consider joining ranks with the more than 200 vendors, end users and affiliates who are already active members of the DMTF:

• Providers of any type of PC product or peripheral -- application software, management software, servers, desktop systems, printers, modems, sound cards, network adapters, etc.
• End users of technology - including government organizations - interested in learning about and helping develop the standards that are shaping the management of enterprise and Internet environments
• Vendors interested in developing a standard management framework for their products and services
• Vendors interested in using CIM and WBEM to differentiate and add value to products and services
• Vendors with customers that request or require standards-based management solutions
• Vendors who want to embrace the Internet and Web as a way to make management more "manageable"
• Vendors that are offering management solutions based on Web standards such as XML and HTTP
• Vendors or companies that want to use Web-based enterprise management standards for managing e-commerce systems

The work of the DMTF is funded through membership dues. These dues are among the lowest in the industry. End user and government agencies are eligible for 50% discounts on Leadership and Participation level membership.  Learn more about the DMTF Membership Levels.
