OMG Announces New Annual Sponsorship Packages
New Format Focuses on Annual Participation, Maximized ROI and
Includes Advertising Space on OMG Web Site

Needham, MA, USA - October 24, 2008 - The Object Management Group™ (OMG™) today announced that it has developed new Annual Sponsorship packages to maximize participants' return on investment. In addition to previous sponsorship opportunity benefits such as prominent branding at OMG Technical Meetings and workshops, sponsors will now be able to place banner advertisements on the OMG website, which receives more than 166 million hits annually. For more information visit http://www.omg.org/advertise.

To accommodate different budgets and promotional goals, the OMG has developed three different sponsorship levels, Platinum, Gold and Silver, with varying levels of benefits. All three levels receive visibility on the OMG website through banner ads and logo placement, at events through logo placement and speaking opportunities. Platinum level sponsorship includes premium benefits such as a hospitality suite at Technical Meeting, a dedicated sponsor web portal on the OMG website, and the opportunity to have a high-level OMG executive present at a sponsor's customer event. Annual sponsorship package pricing begins at 15K per year.

"OMG's website is a destination for people looking for information about companies that support our standards, as well as information about the standards themselves," said William Hoffman, president, Object Management Group. "By offering sponsors the opportunity to place advertising banners on our Resource Pages, Vendor Directories and Meeting Information pages, sponsors will be able to reach a highly targeted audience for their products, while visitors will benefit by having product-specific offerings right at their fingertips."
