faster.</p><span class="border-top-dotted-fancy"></span><div class="markdown-body my-8"><p>In this guide, you’ll learn what makes up an open source enterprise and the three key factors your team needs to build securely with OSS. Find out how you can use OSS to experience rapid innovation, outpace competitors, and cut down costs—all while minimizing risk.</p> <h2>The new way to build software</h2> <p>Nearly every industry today uses technology to differentiate their products and services. Software has become the great equalizer—allowing small companies with big ideas to challenge the status quo and compete against major corporations.</p> <p>Developers turn to the open source community for the resources they need to build better software, faster. However, enterprises have been more cautious, typically limiting open source adoption to proven areas like operating systems (Linux) or programming frameworks such as Ruby or JavaScript.</p> <blockquote> <p>59 percent of IT leaders plan to increase their use of open source code in the next year.</p> </blockquote> <p><small>“The State of Enterprise Open Source” 2019 report</small></p> <h2>How organizations make the change</h2> <p>Maximum innovation, minimal risk: that’s the goal of adopting open source. By adding an open source software (OSS) component to your project, you benefit from the work of potentially thousands of developers—and also take on the risk of consuming code you didn’t create. As you bring in more code from outside your development team, your skills and approach to building software must also change.</p> <p>Change is hard. Most enterprises aren’t used to working with external communities or even working across their own organizational silos. The ones who embrace change and build balanced, secure relationships with the OSS community become a new type of organization: open source enterprises.</p> <h2>What is an open source enterprise?</h2> <p>Open source enterprises are organizations that recognize OSS as essential, not optional, for modern software development. They engage in open source communities and keep up with the best and latest technology. Open source enterprises transform their businesses by strategically investing in open source with the help of a secure platform. As a result, these organizations experience rapid innovation, outpace competitors, and cut down costs—all while minimizing risk.</p> <h2>Three factors that make an open source enterprise</h2> <h3>1. Open source engagement</h3> <p>OSS is the product of thousands of contributors. Getting the most out of open source requires commitment and action. According to a recent study by Harvard Business School, companies who contribute to open source receive up to twice the benefit of those who just use open source code. Open source enterprises consume and adopt open source, but also contribute to and mentor the communities they depend on.</p> <h3>2. Innersource culture</h3> <p>Open source communities are transparent and collaborative, which increases diversity of thought and promotes the best ideas. Open source enterprises use these same principles with their teams internally—an approach known as “innersource.” By implementing open source practices in your organization, you optimize your workforce and increase your output.</p> <h3>3. Secure and compliant platform</h3> <p>Open source usage comes with risks, and teams need to know how to work safely with OSS suppliers. Understanding open source dependencies and their vulnerabilities can be the difference between being patched or hacked. Open source enterprises invest in the right platform and tools to manage code vulnerabilities and use open source securely.</p> </div><p class="text-mono gradient-fg-purple-red f4-mktg mb-0 mr-4

organizations use open source to build better software, faster.","body":"\nIn this guide, you’ll learn what makes up an open source enterprise and the three key factors your team needs to build securely with OSS. Find out how you can use OSS to experience rapid innovation, outpace competitors, and cut down costs—all while minimizing risk.\n\n## The new way to build software\n\nNearly every industry today uses technology to differentiate their products and services. Software has become the great equalizer—allowing small companies with big ideas to challenge the status quo and compete against major corporations.\n\nDevelopers turn to the open source community for the resources they need to build better software, faster. However, enterprises have been more cautious, typically limiting open source adoption to proven areas like operating systems (Linux) or programming frameworks such as Ruby or JavaScript.\n\n\u003e 59 percent of IT leaders plan to increase their use of open source code in the next year.\n\n\u003csmall\u003e“The State of Enterprise Open Source” 2019 report\u003c/small\u003e\n\n## How organizations make the change\n\nMaximum innovation, minimal risk: that’s the goal of adopting open source. By adding an open source software (OSS) component to your project, you benefit from the work of potentially thousands of developers—and also take on the risk of consuming code you didn’t create. As you bring in more code from outside your development team, your skills and approach to building software must also change.\n\nChange is hard. Most enterprises aren’t used to working with external communities or even working across their own organizational silos. The ones who embrace change and build balanced, secure relationships with the OSS community become a new type of organization: open source enterprises.\n\n## What is an open source enterprise?\n\nOpen source enterprises are organizations that recognize OSS as essential, not optional, for modern software development. They engage in open source communities and keep up with the best and latest technology. Open source enterprises transform their businesses by strategically investing in open source with the help of a secure platform. As a result, these organizations experience rapid innovation, outpace competitors, and cut down costs—all while minimizing risk.\n\n## Three factors that make an open source enterprise\n\n### 1. Open source engagement\n\nOSS is the product of thousands of contributors. Getting the most out of open source requires commitment and action. According to a recent study by Harvard Business School, companies who contribute to open source receive up to twice the benefit of those who just use open source code. Open source enterprises consume and adopt open source, but also contribute to and mentor the communities they depend on.\n\n### 2. Innersource culture\n\nOpen source communities are transparent and collaborative, which increases diversity of thought and promotes the best ideas. Open source enterprises use these same principles with their teams internally—an approach known as “innersource.” By implementing open source practices in your organization, you optimize your workforce and increase your output.\n\n### 3. Secure and compliant platform\n\nOpen source usage comes with risks, and teams need to know how to work safely with OSS suppliers. Understanding open source dependencies and their vulnerabilities can be the difference between being patched or hacked. Open source enterprises invest in the right platform and tools to manage code vulnerabilities and use open source securely.\n","resource":{"metadata":{"tags":[],"concepts":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"wfutmusr1t3h"}},"id":"7DADIIr69gljzIO6D2nYnr","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2021-11-19T17:35:45.821Z","updatedAt":"2021-11-19T17:35:45.821Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"publishedVersion":1,"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"article"}}},"fields":{"attachment":{"metadata":{"tags":[],"concepts":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"wfutmusr1t3h"}},"id":"4vc18OBbaBUMZU0oQBy61U","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2021-11-19T17:35:45.281Z","updatedAt":"2022-03-13T17:23:01.672Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"publishedVersion":4,"revision":2},"fields":{"title":"/downloads/Quick-Guide-to-Open-Source-Enterprises.pdf","description":"Quick-Guide-to-Open-Source-Enterprises","file":{"url":"//assets.ctfassets.net/wfutmusr1t3h/4vc18OBbaBUMZU0oQBy61U/74c5bd9c9ba062416f01c964fe781cef/_downloads_Quick-Guide-to-Open-Source-Enterprises.pdf","details":{"size":45506},"fileName":"/downloads/Quick-Guide-to-Open-Source-Enterprises.pdf","contentType":"application/pdf"}}}}},"gated":false,"sfCampaignID":"7015c000001SNN7AAO","campaign":"Resources_Contact_Us","contentForm":{"metadata":{"tags":[],"concepts":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"wfutmusr1t3h"}},"id":"3qHQ6eSp20iGQrFIfaBJnn","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2022-09-29T19:33:25.277Z","updatedAt":"2024-11-21T18:47:33.914Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"publishedVersion":240,"revision":109,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"form"}}},"fields":{"name":"Form_Ungated_Contact","title":"Wondering
