OAGIS was developed to address the need for a common business language to enable business applications to communicate more effectively both within the enterprise as well as outside the enterprise. In addition, OAGi announced in December 2005 its intent to converge the OAGIS standard with the ISA-95 standard to provide a better solution for manufacturing interoperability in process, discrete, and mixed-manufacturing environments.
