Benefits

VITA is much more than a standards development organization. Originally formed as a trade association to promote VMEbus, VITA continues to promote the various standards as developed by the working groups in the VITA Standards Organization (VSO). VITA offers two membership tiers that provide members with increasing levels of involvement in the organization, along with the many promotional opportunities available on VITA's websites. The following are opportunities available to members to maximize your VITA membership:

• VITA Standards - VITA provides its members with the ability to develop and to promote open technology standards. VITA is recognized around the world as a premier standards development organization.
• VITA Member Content - All members have the opportunity to contribute to VITA-focused content published on the website and shared across the official VITA social platforms. We offer multiple forms of content contribution including:
• • Observation Decks: a roundtable feature that brings together VITA members across the scope to contribute to a discussion focusing on an open standards hot topic. Typically a 250-word response highlighting each member’s educational expertise in the highlighted standard.
  • Personas: a questionnaire that focuses on two high-level VITA specific questions catered to the member’s expertise along with a few questions to get to know them and their work. This is a great opportunity to showcase young engineers, new members and their knowledge, while also showcasing your company to other VITA members.
  • Executive View: Similar to the VITA persona but focusing on highlighting the CEOs of VITA member companies. This questionnaire explores each individual’s perspective on VITA standards through the scope of their company as a whole, from educating organizations on the benefits it brought to their company to the challenges that were overcome will implementing VITA standards.
  • Educational Blogs: VITA encourages members to consider submitting educational blogs to share their knowledge about the standards within the community. This can be an article members may already have on their company site that with a VITA-focus added to it or something you want to develop just for this opportunity. This form of content entails about 350-500 words on the topic, the topic being more educational than promotional, and to provide a webpage on your company site that you'd like linked to at the bottom of the blog for readers to learn more if accessible.

Your company’s VITA membership administrator can update the website link so that it is visible to anyone visiting the VITA website.
