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.

Our Services for Open Source Compliance:
M&A Due Diligence: We help to uncover potential risks related to acquiring a target that uses open-source software in its proprietary products. In M&A transactions, our actionable reports help sellers and buyers recognize risks and secure the transaction. Software Producers: We help organizations stay compliant with open-source licenses by connecting to the development and approval processes and working closely with the developers and legal department. Inventory Management: Our team can assist you with creating and maintaining the SBOMs, an accurate inventory of all open-source software used within your organization. Security Audits: Our security experts will evaluate the security of your open-source software and provide recommendations to improve the overall security posture of your organization. Educational Programs: We offer training and create open-source policies to help organizations understand the complexity of open-source licensing and compliance, and how to implement effective open-source management practices. BearingPoint’s FOSS services target a cross-industrial client base: automotive and automotive suppliers, industrial equipment manufacturers, software- and digital-solution providers, telecommunication companies, insurance companies, game producers as well as consulting companies and private equity companies for FOSS due diligence.
