OASIS Forms AMQP Technical Committee to Advance Business Messaging Interoperability Within Middleware, Mobile, and Cloud Environments 

The OASIS international open standards consortium announced the formation of a new Technical Committee for the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP). A platform-agnostic solution for business messaging, AMQP provides organizations with an easier, more secure approach to passing real-time data streams and business transactions. The OASIS Technical Committee will advance the contributed AMQP version 1.0 through the international open standards process.

W. Roy Schulte, VP and Distinguished Analyst, Gartner Research reports: “The implications of AMQP are potentially far-reaching. It could provide open interoperability, thereby reducing the cost of enterprise-quality messaging and making new kinds of applications practical. AMQP’s move to OASIS marks a significant milestone in its evolution that will likely provide a significant boost in visibility and market interest.”

Angus Telfer of INETCO, co-chair of the OASIS AMQP Technical Committee says: “An efficient and open wire-level messaging protocol is a must for multi-vendor communications within the cloud. AMQP fills that position in a vendor neutral way.”

Ram Jeyaraman of Microsoft, who also co-chairs the OASIS AMQP Technical Committee adds: “The formation of the OASIS AMQP Technical Committee is an important next step in the advancement of AMQP as an open and interoperable messaging protocol. We expect the work done by the AMQP Technical Committee to open up new possibilities in business messaging.”
