Accelerate Development. Leverage Open Source. Automate Policy Management.

As a technical manager, CTO or Executive, you know that accelerating software development yields significant competitive advantage. In today’s competitive marketplace, industry leaders don’t reinvent the wheel – they strategically leverage open source to improve time-to-market. Your role is to stimulate productivity by providing an automated framework that encourages open source reuse within a well-managed and legally appropriate structure.

When you need to boost productivity and lower costs, would it help if everyone responsible for developing and approving software was on the same page? Black Duck can help—

• Automate open source processes. Safely and efficiently leverage open source code within an enterprise-wide framework that automates the discovery of policy violations in code. Put systems in place to promote collaboration between developers and open source policy administrators.

• Improve quality. Give developers a fast, effective way to find reusable code. Automate your code reuse approval processes. Publish an internal catalog of approved open source components, encouraging standardization and reuse. Track security vulnerabilities across the enterprise.

• Mitigate development risks. Manage the legal and business risks inherent in open source reuse—even across distributed teams and with 3rd party contributors. Ensure policy adherence by vetting licensing, security, quality, and other code issues with development leaders, legal counsel, and policy administrators.

Know Your Code™. With automated code reuse management, you can accelerate development by using open source and other third party code while skillfully managing the attendant legal, security and business risks. Black Duck Software is helping technical managers and executives gain unprecedented visibility into software composition to improve productivity, lower costs, and make policies easy to follow.
