CDM Showcase 2009

The Common Diagnostic Model (CDM) Forum is hosting its 2009 MDC Showcase at the Santa Clara Marriott in Santa Clara, Calif. on Nov. 16 - 19, 2009. The showcase will allow companies to work with key original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and third party application vendors to integrate modules into their CDM based solutions. Companies will be recognized by the industry for CDM progress and support of CDM adoption. Companies that are already among the leaders of CDM will have an opportunity to help pave the way for broad industry adoption. The increasing interest for uniting the computer industry on a single interoperable interface to all system diagnostics makes this a perfect opportunity to learn more about CDM and be a part of future development and implementations. Sign up now and show that your company is an industry leader of CDM adoption. The showcase registration is now open for companies. Contact cdm-forum-chair@dmtf.org now to be a part of this industry event.
