Case Study: Collibra scales OSS license compliance with FOSSA

Collibra's Journey to Scaling OSS License Compliance

The customer, Collibra, a data intelligence platform, faced challenges in scaling its open source software (OSS) license compliance. Initially, the company relied solely on the good-faith efforts of its engineers with no formal processes, an approach that was not sustainable for growth. To address this, they partnered with the vendor FOSSA, utilizing its platform to manage and automate their license compliance.

FOSSA provided the solution by integrating its tools into Collibra's development process. A key achievement was the initial publication of professional, customer-facing compliance reports. The implementation, supported by an outside expert, fostered strong legal-engineering collaboration and led to plans for deeper integration to make builds fail when policy conflicts are detected. This partnership with FOSSA enabled Collibra to build a scalable and effective compliance program.
