It has 900+ member organizations and provides a number of services, including strategy, management, innovation and research, standards, certification, and test development.^[1] It was established in 1996 when X/Open merged with the Open Software Foundation.

The Open Group is the certifying body for the UNIX trademark,^[2] and publishes the Single UNIX Specification technical standard, which extends the POSIX standards. The Open Group also develops and manages the TOGAF standard, which is an industry standard enterprise architecture framework.^[3]
