Take Advantage of the many Benefits of Open-Source and leave the Rest to us

Free and open-source software is an integral part of most companies today in both IT infrastructure and software development. Shunning open source is often a strategic and competitive disadvantage; however, using open source in a non-compliant way may create significant legal and security risks. Only if you establish and operate a comprehensive open source management infrastructure can you effectively mitigate the risks and fully benefit from the advantages of open source. Since open source management is a non-core business process and requires both time and trained personnel, it makes sense to outsource these processes and bring professionals on board.
