Black Duck Releases Suite 6.1 to Speed Open Source Discovery and Improve Visibility, Control & Collaboration PR Newswire BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, June 19, 2012 - Express Scan Capability Quickly Delivers Inventory of OSS Assets, Offers Organizations of all Sizes a Step-by-Step Approach to Controlling Code BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, June 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Black Duck today announced enhancements to the Black Duck Suite, the market-leading open source software (OSS) management and governance platform. Suite 6.1 includes Express Scan, which speeds open source code discovery and delivers ease-of-use, scalability and code visibility to improve compliance and developer collaboration, and reduce the cost and time it takes for rework during the entire software development lifecycle. Suite 6.1 enables development organizations of all sizes, from start-ups to the Global 2000, to rapidly discover and identify OSS and other recurring code in software libraries, binaries and source code. While research has shown that best practices companies use 60-80 percent* open source software in their development process, reaching that level requires overcoming some key challenges. Often the first step is a rapid code scan to get a snapshot of the code base and establish the insight needed to implement an effective OSS strategy.
