These days, open-source software is omnipresent within organizations. We have found that open-source components are frequently embedded within internally ‘made’ applications, and that many organizations consciously decide to introduce open-source components, such as Oracle Java, as an alternative for chargeable software products. At the same time, we see that open-source software terms and conditions are often overlooked by internal teams and result in costly fines for organizations. Open-source software providers are performing an increasing number of compliance audits, often times which result in costly financial, contractual, and reputational risks for organizations. This means organizations need to actively monitor their open-source software as a part of their Software Asset Management program. The question is not if, but when and how your organization will be impacted. Join us as we explore the different open-source models and real client examples, so that you can understand more about how your organization will be impacted. In this session you will learn
