Leverage Open Source.
Mitigate Business Risks.
As a software vendor, you must meet your customers’ demand for next generation features while stretching development budgets and compressing project schedules. To accelerate development and reduce costs, you leverage code from the open source community and other third parties.
Building code reuse into software development can boost productivity, but new challenges and issues arise. How do you quickly and easily find the code that you need? Does open source and other external code reuse consistently comply with your company’s policies? Do your suppliers follow your policies? Traditional code management platforms can not answer these questions.
You want to avoid the kind of surprises that can inadvertently change your proprietary code into open source or require last-minute reengineering due to licensing or other governance issues.
When you need to manage external code reuse would it help to have a solution that also boosts productivity and mitigates risks? Let Black Duck help you —

- Safely accelerate code reuse. Analyze code and find unapproved code fragments, files and components. Reuse mature and robust code from a catalog of approved components.
- Mitigate business risks. Monitor software composition and policies throughout the code base. Track where external components are used. Generate a detailed Bill of Materials (BOM) to validate software deliverables.
