Open Source Management

Lecorpio open source management provides form, discipline and structure to the open source request submission, review and approval process.

The approach to develop new software has changed dramatically in the last few years. Developers are combining internal software projects with new components from open source communities or partners in creative ways.

This model presents unique challenges. Compliance oversight necessitates re-coding, costing the company time, money, resources, and creates significant legal issues. With development centers spread out now to different countries, this lack of control significantly increase business risks.

Using open source detection products, companies can find out any open source software code in their product after the fact; after it has already been incorporated. But by then, it is already too late.

With Lecorpio open source management, corporate legal departments can establish the open source lifecycle management processes, manage and control the introduction of licensed software into their products, and track that throughout the lifecycle.

Key Features:

Centralized Repository

The system provides a centralized repository for all approved and pre-approved open source and their licenses. IP department can specify their custom conditions of use based on open source usage within the organization. The system provides configurable review and approval workflows based on open source type and license category. Each action is audited and tracked in the approval history for each request.

Template based submissions

The system is pre-packaged with several template workflows and electronic forms. You can choose from existing set of workflows and forms or create your own to capture all the requisite information required for qualifying any request for due diligence.

Self service for engineers

Engineers can submit new requests and monitor the real-time status of their submissions from a web based portal. Response time back to requestors is much faster, and iterations for clarification and review are reduced.

Automated review and approval

The selection of the open source reviewers and subject matter experts is automated based on pre-defined business rules. The experts have the capabilities to initiate direct communication with requestors for further information, reassign/delegate to others and provide recommendations.

It offers both mid- and large-sized enterprise users alike the flexibility to handle diverse requirements by providing configurable customer preferences and task parameters.
