Reduce Time to Market.
Mitigate Business Risks.
As an embedded device or systems manufacturer, your expertise lies in complex software and hardware integrations. To stay ahead of the competition, your software organization delivers next generation features within aggressive deadlines. Increasingly, software teams accelerate deployment and reduce costs by reusing mature code from the open source community and other third parties.
Leveraging external code can boost productivity. But it brings new code management challenges and issues. How can you consistently find the most appropriate code? Does your entire code base comply with company reuse policies? Do your suppliers know and honor your code reuse policies? Traditional code management platforms can’t answer these kinds of questions.
As you move products into distribution, you don’t want product recalls or stop shipments that require unexpected rework to correct software licensing issues or other governance problems.
When you need to get to market faster but at lower risk, would it help to have a solution that improves workflow and product quality? Let Black Duck help you —
- Find open source code. Help developers and suppliers use best practices when searching for and reusing open source code. Provide a catalog of approved components consisting of mature, robust code.
- Manage open source code well. Give developers and policy administrators a streamlined way to collaborate. Make it easy to adhere to policies, even policies that vary by project. Use a system that generates relevant reports and alerts for developers, management, corporate counsel, information security, and support.
- Track code completely. Pinpoint unapproved code fragments, files, and components anywhere in your code base. Generate a Bill of Materials (BOM) to validate all software you procure and deliver.
Know Your Code™. Automating code reuse management yields superior products and shorter time-to-market while mitigating security, legal, and business risks. With Black Duck, you can augment existing systems to improve both productivity and policy adherence. Black Duck Software offers products and services that are helping embedded systems manufacturers safely and effectively leverage open source and third-party code to improve bottom line performance.
