To achieve this, the OTTF is driving the development and adoption of global standards and accreditation programs for technology providers, component suppliers, integrators, re-sellers and distributors throughout the supply chain. As the OTTF Forum Director, she is responsible for managing the consensus development of the forum deliverables and for facilitating global outreach and harmonization activities.

She was the release engineering section manager for all multi-vendor collaborative technology development projects at the Open Software Foundation (OSF), in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Following the merger of the OSF and X/Open under The Open Group, she served as the director for multiple forums within The Open Group. Sally was also instrumental in business development and program definition for certification programs developed and operated by The Open Group for other consortia; for the North American State and Provincial Lotteries (NASPL) and for the Near Field Communication (NFC) Forum.
