About Palamida, Inc.
Palamida provides products and services for software composition analysis. Our customers identify and track open source and other externally-written software in their development projects in order to manage and secure their software against risks resulting from intellectual property infringement and security vulnerabilities. Palamida analysts have conducted thousands of audits projects (billions of lines of code) ranging from quick one-day inspections to comprehensive due diligence projects to multi-product internal baselines. In all cases, our analysts use Palamida Enterprise Edition software as well as extensive domain expertise to produce a highly readable and actionable report. Reports can be tailored to specific requirements and can include open source and commercial content, analysis of subcomponents, multi-media content, and cut-and-paste source code. Palamida Professional Services play a crucial role when time is tight and domain expertise is essential in auditing for open source use.
Event Synopsis:
Open Source has eaten the software world. A typical company is made up of 50% Open Source Software, though companies’ ability to discover and track these packages has not kept up with the development practices. Companies who are targets in Mergers & Acquisitions are required to disclose their use of OSS/3P software and Palamida’s research shows the typical company is only aware of 2% of their aactual usage. This massive undercounting is affecting the ability of these organizations to have a successful exit. Additionally, those who do have a successful exit often require a large amount of remediation before close in order to come into compliance. In this webinar Palamida will discuss the modern technical due diligence process as it relates to Open Source and Third-Party Software, along with the steps that a target or acquirer will go through to validate the Third-Party list. Other topics include common reasons for no-go decisions, and remediation steps that you will have to go through before you sell or buy a company.
Key topics include:
- Open Source Software Legal Primer
- Preparing Yourself for An Acquisition As a Buyer
- Preparing Yourself for An Acquisition As a Seller
- Timetable of the Due Diligence Process
- Common Findings and Pitfalls
- Remediation Steps
- Effects on Valuation and Go/no-go Decisions
- Use for Integration with the Acquiring Company
