Case Study: Samsung SDS achieves faster, lower-cost, risk-managed open source development with Black Duck

SamSung Wins Big with Open Source Lifecycle Strategy

Samsung SDS, the IT services arm of the Samsung Group with over 11,000 IT professionals, needed a scalable way to manage widespread open source software (OSS) use across hundreds of projects while preventing license violations and IP leakage. The company sought an automated, easily integrated solution to promote safe OSS reuse and enforce compliance as part of its OSS Life Cycle.

Samsung deployed Black Duck to provide OSS search/discovery, an approved repository, and automated license and compliance checks embedded in development workflows. The governance-driven approach boosted developer productivity and software quality through code reuse, cut development and ownership costs, and accelerated innovation across mobile, cloud and virtual platform initiatives.
