Case Study: HYPE Innovation achieves one-click, up-to-date open-source reporting and automated alerts with Mend

HYPE Innovation Uses WhiteSource to Provide Its Customers Up-to-Date Open Source Reports

HYPE Innovation, a global leader in full‑lifecycle innovation management software serving clients such as P&G, Nokia and Siemens, develops primarily in Java and JavaScript using Jenkins and Maven. As their product and customer base grew, manually tracking an expanding open‑source inventory (over 300 components) and producing customer open‑source reports — plus meeting customer requirements to always ship the latest component versions — became time‑consuming and unmanageable.

Integrating WhiteSource into their CI environment gave HYPE a single, up‑to‑date view of all open‑source components, automated dependency detection, licensing details, and security and version‑update alerts, plus one‑click customer reports. The result is instant, comprehensive open‑source reports on demand, automated version and vulnerability alerts, and centralized control of all open‑source issues.
