Case Study: WingArc1st achieves accelerated open-source analysis and increased developer productivity with Synopsys Black Duck

WingArc1st Accelerates Open Source Analysis and Increases Productivity

WingArc1st, a provider of enterprise data and BI software (including SVF, Dr.Sum EA and MotionBoard), needed a reliable way to manage open source usage and vulnerability risks. Developers were fielding frequent client and partner inquiries and relied on slow, manual tracking (Excel), which made responses and risk management time-consuming and error-prone.

They deployed Synopsys Black Duck to automate open source discovery, vulnerability mapping, policy enforcement and alerts, with integration into Jenkins and Bamboo. The solution delivered vulnerability information about three weeks earlier, analyzed open source usage roughly 10× faster (reducing analysis from 1.5 days to 0.5 day), increased developer productivity, and improved overall customer and partner satisfaction.
