The objective of the UG is to facilitate and promote the use of IMF worldwide, both on-prem and in the cloud; in coordination with other organizations; and in conjunction with other component-based workflow technologies.

To fulfill its objective, the UG:

  • hosts regular member meetings;
  • organizes public events;
  • collects requirements;
  • develops best practices and technical reports;
  • conducts interoperability testing; and
  • creates promotional and educational materials.

The IMF UG is organized under the umbrella of the SMPTE.
