Engaging Verticals in M2M – The Imperative to think Long-term – An OMA use-case Seth Newberry, General Manager, Open Mobile Alliance GSC-18 Meeting, 22-23 July 2014, Sophia Antipolis, France
Who we are and What we do • At OMA, we develop specifications for the application layer called Service Enablers. • Our membership is evolving but we primarily serve a telecom-centric membership similar to that of 3GPP and GSMA. • We have released over 150 specifications that enable some distinct service with more services currently in the work program. • We also have an API program that specifies standardized interfaces to the Service Provider infrastructure and on devices for Internet influenced Application developers. • As technology has evolved, our members have proposed new work that is more developer-centric with a recognition of trends in OTT applications.

Connecting with the right partners • Getting the right dynamic between the technically-centric approach of the SDO and the application-centric approach of the Vertical association is difficult and really productive engagements are rare. • At present, the M2M / IOT space seems to be solution-driven. Time to market imperatives dictate the conversation. GSC-18, 22-23 July 2014, Sophia Antipolis
Connecting with the right partners • OMA has a number of initiatives where our specifications have much to offer in specific M2M applications. • We have some productive relationships with vertical organizations and we have learned some lessons along the way. • Some lessons imply changes to how we think about our long term partnerships.

OMA – GS1 – GSMA: The Digital Consumer • OMA is working with GS1 on a protocol to connect the product barcode to the GS1 product information servers to the client. • Preparing for the inexorable migration of the B2B product information into the B2C world. • GS1 is one of the most influential Trade & Standards bodies associated with barcode and supply chain logistics for the retail brands and channels. • The GS1 system of standards is the most widely used supply chain standards system in the world. GS1 barcodes are used by 2 million companies in 150 countries. • GS1 is also working with GSMA on digital couponing applications. • There may be a very significant technical and business opportunity working with GS1, GSMA, and OMA on what GS1 refers to as the “Digital Consumer”.

A long term commitment • Every day, there are 6 billion retail transactions (beeps) in the stores. The number of informational barcode scans taking place on smart phones is catching up. • Tomorrow RFIDs will become as common as barcodes are today. • Barcodes / RFIDs are the physical triggers to all the digital information associated with a physical product. • The potential for the smartphone to become a commonly used product information and POS payment terminal is high. • The possibility that Operator networks will carry a very significant fraction of the Retail GDP over an OMA protocol is high. • The evolution towards the Digital Consumer implies a persistent and long-term partnership of all the participating Associations.

The Opportunity • OMA has other specifications deployed or in development in M2M applications • Automotive – Device Management • Smart Devices – LWM2M • Retail – Mobile Codes • Small Cells - APIs • The challenge of engaging market verticals in M2M is large • The sheer number and emergence of new vertical associations • The time-to-market pressures versus the time-to-quality pressures • Size and complexity of the M2M ecosystems • Cross-sector collaboration will yield the best long term solutions. • Requires strong support of the Liaison function • A culture of adaptability to the needs of the partners • A recognition that the work is not done when the Specification is released.
