| Description: | In today’s world of open-sourced, out-sourced, easily-searched and easily-copied software – quality development and managing and safeguarding IP is critical. Intellectual property contamination or even perceived IP issues can delay projects, product sales cycles, or business transactions and reduce the value of the software itself or even of the entire company. Protecode addresses this problem in a simple, but industry unique approach for policy driven continuous software IP management. Protecode tools consist of the: Protecode Global IP Server (GIPS™), which is the continuously updated global repository of software IP attributes, and the Protecode Client, which includes the Protecode Tracker™, the Protecode Reporter™ and the Enterprise Adopter™. The Protecode Admin™ – a web-based administration module – enables definition, capture and assignment of IP compliance policies to project teams. The Protecode Tracker™ is the core of the client product. It detects and logs software content – external or proprietary – as it is introduced in the course of development. Through interaction with the GIPS™, Protecode identifies the origin, license and other information about the identified content or initiates the capture of such information within the development process, thus enabling creation of a comprehensive software pedigree report. The Protecode Reporter™ creates the software Bill of Materials (BOM) and issues appropriate software IP policy compliance reports to the developers, the product and development managers, and to other concerned organizations (legal, finance, etc.) in the company. The Protecode Enterprise Adopter™ retrospectively analyzes legacy code base (created in the project prior to Protecode adoption) to identify external content and create appropriate pedigree reports and software BOM. |
