Assessment
OpenCrowd's Assessment offering helps clients assess their current usage of open source software based on industry best practices and provides recommendations to overcome any issues and risks.
Challenges
Clients that have already adopted open source software often face challenges due to the newness of these technologies and the grassroots nature of adoption. Some challenges that limit potential benefits and adoption opportunities are:
- License compliance and indemnification concerns with current usage
- Duplicate product evaluation and selection efforts by different project teams
- Lack of a formal support structure within the organization for open source software
- Proliferation of different product versions deployed in production
- Redundant products being used that have the same capabilities
What we offer
Our Assessment offering comprehensively helps clients solve these adoption challenges. We can rapidly analyze your current software inventory to help you create a rationalized open source catalog.
Specifically, the Assessment service helps our clients:
- Inventory open source software usage within projects across the organization
- Identify license compliance issues
- Rationalize an open source catalog for use in their organization based on current usage, adoption trends, technology standards, product functionality, and usage risks

We provide our clients the tools and approach to help them self-govern the adoption process themselves.
