Manufacturing Enterprise Solutions Association International (MESA, also known as MESA International)[1] is a worldwide not-for-profit community of manufacturing companies, information technology hardware and software suppliers, system integrators, consulting service providers, analysts, editors, academics, and students.
MESA's goal is to help member companies improve business results and production operations through application and implementation of information technology and best management practices.
OpenO&M is an open, collaborative, effort composed of diverse groups of relevant organizations and subject matter experts.
[5] In 2014, MESA International signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Open Applications Group, Inc. (OAGi), making it easier for both organizations to work together and bring value to their common set of stakeholders, and formalizing the ways in which each organization can contribute to the other's committees and working groups to bring specific expertise to key initiatives.
Under the agreement, the two organizations will work together to align efforts to maximize interoperability, portability, security and privacy for the industrial Internet.
