| Black Duck Ships protexIP 4.0 and SDK Black Duck Software has shipped protexIP/development 4.0, the newest release of its flagship offering. The major upgrade, announced in September 2006, boasts a new graphical interface and improved workflow to boost user productivity, as well as enhanced code-matching technology. Black Duck has also announced the shipment of the protexIP/sdk (software development kit), which allows tighter integration of protexIP into customers' computing environments. Taken together, the new features, usability enhancements and SDK underscore Black Duck's technology lead and illustrate its continuing emphasis on innovation. protexIP allows large enterprises, technology product companies and outsourcers engaged in geographically distributed software development to know the contents of their software code and therefore to help ensure compliance with open source and proprietary licenses alike. It streamlines workflow to allow teams of software developers, architects and lawyers to collaborate to protect software intellectual property and integrates into corporate software development environments that include source code management systems and integrated development environments. Black Duck's protexIP platform creates a new work environment that helps organizations effectively manage their increasingly complex software IP and licensing issues. By validating software contents, finding issues to be addressed early in the development cycle or well in advance of a due diligence event, and verifying license compliance, the protexIP platform helps companies reduce business risks, complete software projects on time and on budget and stay on track with their business plans. The protexIP/sdk provides companies the ability to tightly integrate license compliance management into their existing development lifecycle and with their existing development tools, such as configuration management and build systems. The SDK is available for customers to use for integration, or Black Duck Software's professional services team can provide custom integration. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
