Case Study: WingArc1st accelerates open-source analysis and boosts developer productivity with Black Duck (Synopsys)

WingArc1st Accelerates Open Source Analysis and Increases Productivity

WingArc1st, a provider of enterprise information and business intelligence software (SVF, Dr.Sum, MotionBoard), was struggling to respond to frequent client and partner questions about open source usage and vulnerabilities. Relying on manual tracking with tools like Excel made responses slow and error-prone, and the development team needed an automated, reliable way to manage open source components and security risks.

They deployed Synopsys Black Duck to discover open source in code, map components to known vulnerabilities, and integrate policy and alerts into their CI tools (Jenkins, Bamboo). As a result, vulnerability data is received about three weeks earlier, analysis runs roughly 10× faster, developer workload for analysis dropped from 1.5 days to half a day, and overall productivity and customer satisfaction improved.
