Code of Openness (CPO) is an open initiative of the prostep ivip association under the patronage of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi). The acronym CPO originally comes from the abbreviation of the Terms Code of PLM Openness.

Openness is a state, a capability of an IT system. It is characterized by the interoperability, portability and expandability of the IT system (see open system ). When realizing or implementing open IT systems, IT interfaces, standards and IT architecture play a decisive role. In addition to these technical aspects, non-technical aspects are at least of equal importance, above all the contractual conditions and partnership models or partnership programs of the parties involved (customers or users, IT manufacturers and IT service providers). This approach is the core of the CPO, which can also be understood in terms of a code .

The CPO aims to establish openness and thus the easy integration of IT in networked IT environments (e.g. company networks, IoT). It links technical IT requirements with those of the user. It is a standard catalog of criteria that includes measurable criteria ('must', 'should', 'can') for the categories interoperability, infrastructures, expandability, interfaces, standards, architectures and partner relationships.

history

From July 2011 to February 2012, representatives from BMW , Daimler , Dassault Systèmes , IBM , Oracle , PTC , SAP , Siemens PLM Software , T-Systems and Volkswagen developed the first version of the CPO, which was officially presented at a conference at CeBIT 2012 has been.

In 2012 and 2013, continuous work was carried out to improve the CPO. The internationalization and industrial roll-out of the CPO has been actively reported since 2014. That's why companies such as B. Airbus , Ford , Fuji Heavy Industries , Hino , Honda , Isuzu , Mazda , Mitsubishi , Nissan , Suzuki , thyssenkrupp , Toyota , Volvo and Yamaha contribute to the CPO initiative.

In the course of time it became increasingly clear that the criteria summarized in the CPO apply not only to the originally planned area of PLM , but also far beyond. In April 2016, the then Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy, Sigmar Gabriel , therefore declared the patronage of the BMWi over the CPO initiative and underlined: "German industry depends on the fact that its smart products and services can be offered and used globally. Interoperability is the linchpin. Certification can create trust in the broad use of information and communication technologies, break down technical barriers and thus strengthen the competitive strength of the German economy. "

Certification

A certification procedure is currently being worked out in the prostep ivip association together with the BMWi. The first pilot certifications took place in 2017. Companies such as CONWEAVER, HCL, PROSTEP, PTC and Siemens PLM are among the first to be certified. At the same time, an accredited certification process is being prepared together with the DAkkS . The first accredited certificates will be presented in mid-2019. Further steps are also being prepared at EU level and in Japan (in cooperation with METI ).

Publications

The CPO, guidelines with tips and interpretation aids, templates and the CPO annual report are published on the CPO pages of the ProSTEP iViP Association. The CPO and the accompanying certification criteria are published as the DIN SPEC 91372 series. The CPO itself is already available as DIN SPEC 91372-1.
