The <strong>Digital</strong> <strong>Media</strong> Framework describes an open “ecosystem” with widely<br />
available specifications <strong>for</strong> <strong>for</strong>mats, protocols, <strong>and</strong> APIs that facilitate solutions<br />
based on <strong>IBM</strong>’s <strong>and</strong> business partners’ components. It provides customers with<br />
the assurance of a solid foundation when dealing with heterogeneous plat<strong>for</strong>ms<br />
<strong>and</strong> applications (which is almost always the case in digital media). This enables<br />
customers to implement a robust set of media-based solutions tailored to solve<br />
their business problems, while taking advantage of the already installed<br />
infrastructure.<br />
The component nature of the framework, based on open <strong>and</strong> de facto st<strong>and</strong>ards,<br />
eases the integration of media functions into the business.<br />
An open framework is more efficient <strong>and</strong> drives better functionality <strong>for</strong> the<br />
business by removing barriers that keep rich media contents from crossing<br />
plat<strong>for</strong>ms. The transition from vertically integrated solutions to component-based<br />
solutions results in durable investments <strong>for</strong> customers. As needs change,<br />
individual components can be replaced without sacrificing crucial infrastructure<br />

Note: The fact that the framework is open, drives efficiency, cost savings <strong>and</strong><br />
creativity.<br />
