DMTF is dedicated to continually evolving the organization’s structure to facilitate collaboration and interoperability across our standards. In an important change for 2019, the DMTF group formerly known as System Management (SM) Forum has become the CIM Forum. As part of this restructuring, all work on the Common Information Model has been consolidated under this single umbrella for increased efficiency. 

Every year in our December issue, we take the opportunity to pause and reflect on the last twelve months. As we wrap up another highly productive year for DMTF, I’m happy to highlight the vast list of accomplishments the organization achieved in 2018:
