Fifteen companies combined last week to make a single joint submission to the Object Management Group in its quest for Object Services, its first such Request For Technology, which closed on Friday with eight submissions representing some 25 companies. The 15 companies that banded together include Sun Microsystems Inc, Hewlett-Packard Co, Tivoli Systems Inc, Hyperdesk Corp, Novell Inc, Digital Equipment Corp and all of the object database concerns. Many of them were involved in Object Group’s original Object Request Broker selection. Meanwhile, membership continues to build for the Object Group. It is now up to 305 members, the last five coming in the last week alone.
