Case Study:
Find out how Intel reduces software
rework using Black Duck
Intel is widely known as a global semiconductor leader, but Intel also has one of the industry’s most accomplished software development organizations, delivering a wide range of solutions including development tools, platform manageability, virtualization, graphics, mobility, and enabling software.
Intel faces the same issues encountered by many other companies with large, distributed software development teams. There are terabytes of open source code across thousands of Internet sites which developers can leverage in order to speed project completion, but how can a company be sure that open source is used properly; in a way which does not create license conflicts, version proliferation and other policy issues.
This case study explains how Intel coordinates the activities of over 1,000 globally distributed developers with Black Duck Protex; the industry’s leading software compliance management platform. By building a daily code analysis into their software development procedures, Intel is able to rapidly detect instances where use of open source (or proprietary code) violates the procedures for a given project. By catching issues early, Intel is able to significantly reduce software rework, increasing productivity and mitigating the risk of legal or other issues arising from improper code usage.
