In its work the Task Force has established the requirements to be satisfied by candidate enterprise-reference architectures and their associated methodologies to fulfill the needs of [[industry]] for such aids to [[enterprise integration]]. The result has been called GERAM, for "Generalized Enterprise-Reference Architecture and Methodology", by the Task Force. The Task Force has shown that such an architecture is feasible and that several architectures presently available in the literature can already or potentially can fulfil such requirements.<ref name="Nell96"/>

The devopment of enterprise-reference architecture has evolved from the developemt of Design Methodology for Advanced Manufacturing Systems in the 1980s,<ref>Doumeingts, G., Vallespir, B., Darracar, D., M., "Design Methodology for Advanced Manufacturing Systems", Computers in Industry, Vol. 9, pp. 271-296, December 1987.</ref> such as [[CIMOSA]], the Open System Architecture for CIM.<ref>[[AMICE Consortium,]] (1991). ''Open System Architecture for CIM, Research Report of ESPRIT Project 688'', Vol. 1, Springer-Verlag, 1989.</ref><ref>[[AMICE Consortium]] (1991), ''Open System Architecture, CIMOSA, AD 1.0, Architecture Description'', ESPRIT Consortium AMICE, Brussels, Belgium, 1991.</ref> The GERAM framework was first published by Peter Bernusand and Laszlo Nemes in 1994.<ref name="BN94"/>
