Companies producing software may not be aware that if their commercial software products contain open source or third party software without the correct legal authorisation they are in breach of copyright and open to significant legal action.
With all the best intentions software developers can quickly and easily find code samples and open source tools on the internet that while saving them time and effort can cause major issues for your company. Further to software products developed internally, those inherited through merger or acquisition and in some cases vendor products used to provide a service to your customers which breach software re-use laws also make your company liable. Clearvision can integrate software re-use policy into your SCCM solution and help you to: Monitor, Track and Audit your current exposure and ongoing use of Open Source and third party software Prevent developers from submitting code which contains illegal software, or perform a thorough audit and report before testing and release Develop a strategy for leveraging open source and third party software safely and legally Audit existing software products (including audits for Mergers and Acquisitions) Train your organisation in the risks and solutions associated with software re-use For further information about how Clearvision can help your organisation assess their current exposure and implement an effective SCCM strategy please contact us. |
