As enterprise organizations increasingly adopt open-source software, introducing a new package at least once a week has become a common practice. Despite this, many continue to use manual processes for discovery and approval, leading to a dip in productivity and a heavy drain on resources.
The manual approach not only consumes up to 5 hours per week of developers’ time in search of open source but also raises the stakes of introducing non-compliant packages late into the development lifecycle. Addressing these challenges requires a shift towards more efficient, automated solutions to maintain the pace of innovation while ensuring compliance and minimizing security risks.
A thing of the past
We’re moving beyond manual methods. Automation is more than a mere tool; it is the fundamental building block that enhances security practices and builds a seamless developer experience.
In January 2024, a Forrester Consulting study, Unlock Resources with Automated Open-Source Discovery and Intake Reclaim Lost Time Managing and Working Around Open-Source Challenges from Noncompliant Code to Drive Value across Organizations, commissioned by Debricked and OpenText, thoroughly explored these challenges.
