The new community will be based around the OPC-UA.COM, OPC-UA.ORG and OPC-UA.NET domains that currently point to the OPCFoundation.ORG website. The entity will manage OPC-UA as a licensable technology. The entity will follow the form of a Non-Profit, will be staffed and managed by both Kepware and OPC Foundation personnel, with the OPC Foundation providing complete oversight. The entity will be dedicated to the marketing and management of OPC-UA and the OPC-UA vendor community. Going forward, the OPC Foundation and Kepware will manage the development of OPC-UA in a managed community 'open source code' model, with sources distributed by the new joint entity. Kepware was chosen as the most suitable company to represent the broadest range of vendors, from services organizations to toolkit vendors and product developers. The partner must be capable of working with a wide variety of companies in the automation industry to form an OPC-UA vendor community. The adoption of OPC-UA will be greatly enhanced by offering licensable code, rather than leaving vendors to interpret specifications as was the case with OPC Classic.

With specifications nearing final approval, and proof of concept code complete, the OPC Foundation sought a partner capable of managing OPC-UA technology as a product. OPC Classic will continue to be widely supported in the industry with OPC-UA offering an additional, more advanced interface for connectivity going forward. It delivers all the benefits of OPC Classic, while addressing new demands for greater security, Web Services and SOA (Service Oriented Architecture), portability to a wider range of operating system platforms, and the support for new standards in complex data handling. This next generation of technology is called OPC-UA (OPen Connectivity - Unified Architecture).

Over 10 years later, the OPC Foundation, made up of participants from all aspects of the automation industry, including enterprise applications, is at the point of releasing a new series of specifications to meet current and future challenges within a broader range of markets.

OPC Classic is widely adopted and is now a feature of virtually every automation software product in the automation marketplace. The first version of OPC (now termed OPC Classic), was introduced in 1996 and was based on the best design principles and technology available at the time. The OPC Foundation is a standards organization, formed in 1995 to create and manage technology fostering interoperability between vendor products within the automation marketplace. The benefits of this approach will foster rapid adoption through the licensing of proven technology, quality control of an industry-wide solution and guaranteed interoperability at the communications level. Kepware Technologies, the leader in Communications for Automation and the OPC Foundation, announce they have partnered to manage the next generation of OPC technology, OPC-UA.
