Ecma is driven purely by the will of its membersIt is run by industry for industry, and is aware of your time and cost constraintsProven system for getting things done right and on timeThe know-how of the secretariat, GA and CC guides technical experts through international standardization jungleThe Ecma process filters out non-commercial interests, resolves competitive clashes which are not productiveThe “fast track” by Ecma saves you time and money.If you get three members together for a project, it can not be stopped by other membersEcma works readily on several competing solutions to the same problemThe development of an Ecma Standard takes (typically) no more than half the time required to develop a similar standard in any competing forum.Ecma Standards are recognized worldwide as amongst the highest quality
