Open Source Governance Within the Enterprise
Cutter Consortium, Oct 2009
Open source software (OSS) is becoming increasingly important within the enterprise as it moves out from its original base within the IT infrastructure and server environment. It now has support from many top industry vendors, and there are strong offerings in the areas of server solutions, development solutions, applications, software components, and even desktop. OSS often enters the firm invisibly, bypassing the selection processes that have been applied to proprietary solutions. As open source grows to maturity and becomes important to the firm, establishment of adequate governance is likely to become increasingly important.
This Executive Report by Brian J. Dooley offers advice and recommendations that will help your firm manage the growing need for open source governance. You'll gain strategies for mitigating risk when adopting OSS, advice on managing the growing complexity of open source licensing issues, and recommendations for developing an open source policy and conducting an open source audit. This report also discusses some of the current open source scanning tools and solutions, from providers such as Black Duck, Palamida, HP, and OpenLogic.
Learn how your organization can make the most of its open source software initiatives.
