Continuous Deployment, Continuous Delivery, Continuous Compliance

Company

{metæffekt} GmbH supports and accompanies companies in the inventory and evaluation of used software components (Software Composition Analysis). Through many years of expertise and know-how in the area of software architecture, software development, continuous integration and license compliance management {metæffekt} is a sovereign partner for the continuation of the inventory, documentation and risk assessment of products and projects in dialogue with the various competencies and responsible parties in the company.

In addition to services in the product and project context {metæffekt} offers consulting on process and policy design, as well as training and seminars on the topics of License Compliance Awareness, License Compliance Management, Vulnerability Monitoring and Vulnerability Assessment.

Background

Modern software development makes use of current methods, common tools and a multitude of existing components, libraries, development and test kits. Demands for fast, cost-effective, quality-oriented and thus competitive product or project development underline this approach. Enterprises are requested to concentrate on their core authority and technical know-how and must fall back as much as possible to existing concepts and components other manufacturers or from community projects.

Coupled with legal requirements, contractual requirements for transparency and sovereign handling and requirements from information security standards (such as BSI-200, ISO-27001), the multitude and varying granularity of the software components used creates a complexity that must be evaluated not least in the risk management of a company. However, the challenge in the company already begins with the question of which software is used and how and which properties, obligations and restrictions must be taken into account.

In its approach, {metæffekt} differs significantly from other providers. By focusing on the software components actually used a defined data quality is achieved through the application of specialized tools and case-specific consulting, which is particularly necessary for implementing license compliance in the supply chain and for identifying and monitoring public vulnerabilities. In all operations, the focus is always on documentation of the end product and risk reduction in the respective business case. The procedures are applied with precision through automation and integration into the development processes and enable continuity in the lifecycle of the products and projects.

Philosophy

In particular, the correct handling of Open Source Software is of central importance to us. For this purpose, it is necessary to understand and comprehend the perspective of the actors in the Open Source Model. We have summarized our experiences and findings in this regard in the {metæffekt} Open Source Ethics.

The {metæffekt} Using Open Source Software Manifesto is derived from the Open Source Ethics. This manifesto clarifies and supports the position and actions of {metæffekt} GmbH.

We dare to hypothesize that the Open Source Model is a foundation of our future society. We move from the Open Source Model to the open society. Industry 4.0 or the concepts based on blockchains, cryptocurrencies and smart contracts are just prominent examples of change on this path.

For this reason in particular, it is necessary to clearly define the fundamental rules, moral and ethical aspects and obligations in dealing with Open Source Software as the foundation of these developments.

Inventory of software and hardware components

To implement compliance requirements for software and hardware the components of a product are recorded in full. For this purpose, the parts - components - are transferred to an inventory and supplemented with properties for checking the requirements. Following information are recorded:

  • Licensing of the components
  • Licensing decisions (especially in the case of multiple licensing or sublicensing)
  • Information on the fulfillment of license conditions
  • Vulnerabilities and product-specific evaluation
  • Restrictions in use and delivery
  • Patent information and terms of use
  • Efficiency and sustainability attributes
Assessment – 2-days workshop [request by email]

In a 2-days workshop a product is specifically inventoried and enriched with information. Company-specific requirements and general conditions are compared with the information in the inventory. The process is accompanied by documentation of the research.
Finally, the results are presented and possible risks, priorities and measures are discussed.

The assessment supports the risk classification of a product in the company. The risks serve as an instrument for controlling the derived measures.

Documentation - Asset Annex [Anfrage per E-Mail]

Comprehensive documentation - the Asset Annex - is created for a product (asset) consisting of software and/or hardware. The Annex contains information that is required for the operation or delivery of the product. To create the Asset Annex an inventory with the required information is processed, compiled and quality assured.
The Asset Annex includes the Bill Of Materials, license list, license notes and sources of Open Source Components.
Accompanying, on the basis of the work status of the Asset Annex, risks and measures in the company are discussed.

The Asset Annex becomes the accompanying documentation of the product. Through the contents the license conditions of the embedded components are perceived and the product is presented in the context of the specific compliance requirements and made auditable.

OnDemand research for software componentsn [request by email]

Detailed information is required to classify and assess third-party software components. With OnDemand research for software components it is possible to compile the required information on request. Specialized automated tools are used and the results are tracked and followed up.

The researched information can be used to support software compliance processes in the company or added to software asset catalogs of IT Asset Management Systems.

As a {metæffekt} OnDemand Service, OnDemand Research For Software Components represents a central building block for Managed Security Services (MSS).

Seminars

Day seminar – Innovation model Open Source in practice [request by email]

The seminar teaches the basics of efficient handling of Open Source and third-party components in your own software. In moderated exercises practical examples are transferred into a basic procedure and documentation.

The seminar is aimed at all decision-makers, process and product managers who want to take advantage of the complexity of Open Source in the product environment. In addition, the seminar is aimed at all disciplines in the company that come into contact with Open Source; on the one hand, representatives of software development, such as development managers, software architects, software developers and product managers; on the other hand, people in purchasing and the company's internal legal department.

Container Annex - Github Project – 01.02.2020

Containers are a flexible tool and are increasingly used in industry to distribute and run software. The consideration of compliance often comes too short.

In order to be able to directly integrate and track a consideration of compliance in the continuous build of the development the {metæffekt} offers some Open Source Plugins that can be used without hurdles.

A new Github project illustrates the basic functionality of the plugins:

Blauer Engel für Software – Heise Artikel vom 27.12.2019

{metæffekt} welcomes the announced Blauer Engel for software as the right signal (see Blauer Engel für Software im Anflug [external link]). In general, a sustainable understanding of values should be introduced into technology and society from various perspectives and the term sustainable digitalization should be coined.

„Der Begriff der nachhaltigen Digitalisierung ist im Grundsatz eine Antithese zum aktuellen sehr neoliberal ausgeprägten Verständnis der Digitalisierung zur weitgehend ausschließlichen Steigerung von Effizienz und Wachstum. Im Sinne einer nachhaltigen Digitalisierung ist zwingend eine Konsequenzabschätzung entlang einer konsolidierten Wertevorstellung unserer Gesellschaft und damit die Berücksichtigung von u.a. sozialen und ökologischer Faktoren notwendig.“ Karsten Klein, Geschäftsführer {metæffekt GmbH}
"The concept of sustainable digitization is in principle an antithesis to the current very neoliberal understanding of digitization for the largely exclusive increase of efficiency and growth. In terms of sustainable digitization it is imperative to assess the consequences along a consolidated value concept of our society and thus to take into account social and ecological factors, among others." Karsten Klein, Managing Director {metæffekt GmbH}

Bitkom working group - Open Source – 27.11.2019 in Frankfurt

The working group Open Source met this time in the PwC Tower in Frankfurt. The meeting was characterized by the review of 2019 and the thematic planning of the working group for 2020.

Bitkom working group - Public Procurement – 24.09.2019 in Berlin

The Public Procurement Working Group meets to discuss the EVB-IT Cloud, among other topics. The report on the round of negotiations with the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Home Affairs is particularly noteworthy on this topic. We look forward to the discussion in the working group on relevant topics for the upcoming Smart Country Convention.

{metæffekt} Summer Night – 03.07.2019 in Heidelberg

On 03.07.2019 we celebrated this year's Summer Night with guests from the {metæffekt} environment. We thank all guests for the nice and entertaining evening.

Forum digital city – 02.07.2019 in Heidelberg

This year's forum was again characterized by innovative ideas. The approach of the city of Mannheim must be highlighted in particular. The contribution not only impressed - as usual - with the number of projects, but the concept of "Digital Identity" shows itself to be course-setting and citizen-oriented.

Bitkom working group - Open Source – 05.06.2019 in Berlin

The Open Source Working Group met again this time in Berlin. The meeting focused on the topic of "Collaboration across company boundaries".

Bitkom forum law - responsibilities in the digital economy and society – 15.05.2019 - 16.05.2019 in Berlin

In order to do justice to a "responsibility" in the topic of "AI" the previous evening event already showed that the previous findings of various commissions should be reflected into society.
How concretely to deal with topics such as AI, chatbots, cloud services and DSGVO could be dealt with practically and in the short term and why a continuous risk assessment and process improvement in terms of the current "state of the art and science" might be necessary we learned from top-class expert contributions.

4th IT-Vergabetag 2019 – 15.05.2019 in Berlin

The speed of (agile) digital development is being merged with the requirements of the public sector in everyday procurement. A perfectly normal process, but one that requires special attention at one point or another. Exciting reports and questions from both players and a clear pleading for transparency and openness which could be solved not least by the many solutions of the "Open" movement in digitalization.
A real exchange of experiences at eye level.

{metæffekt} is OpenChain Partner – 14.05.2019

Since 14.05.2019, {metæffekt} is an official partner of the Linux Foundation's OpenChain project.
The OpenChain project enjoys increasing attention on an international level. Through the OpenChain specification and the Self-Certify Questionaire, foundations are being laid for Open Source License Compliance in the supply chain. On a national level, several representatives of the automotive industry and their suppliers have recently joined the project.
In particular, the project is increasingly focusing on the implementation and automation of processes within the company. Here we as {metæffekt} see the opportunity to present our experience, approaches and methods from practice to discuss them and to coordinate them on an international level.
OpenChain Welcomes {metæffekt} [external link]

Bitkom working group - digital agriculture – 10.05.2019 in Berlin

The digitization of agriculture is advancing inexorably. The collection and analysis of data require integrative, networked solutions and interdisciplinary collaboration which increasingly involves software compliance, among other things.

Digital Farming Conference 2019 – 09.05.2019 in Berlin

{metæffekt} discussed all aspects of Agriculture 4.0 with experts and decision-makers from the agricultural and digital industries, society, science and politics.

Bitkom working group - digital administration – 11.04.2019 in Berlin

A very lively overview of the new role of the Federal Chancellery in the coordination of digital policy, understandable presentation of the role of the IT Planning Council as an IT organization in German federalism, the current status on the Online Access Act (OZG) implementation - an interesting day in Berlin which ended with the open question of how to harmonize the agile understanding with the bulky organizational titles.

OSBA - OPEN! Round Table – 10.04.2019 in Stuttgart

With field reports on the use of Open Source and a round table format with different focal points this year's OPEN! OSBA event was entertaining and interesting. Exciting: the discussion about Open Source and the advantages such as transparency and sovereignty is becoming more and more a social discussion. This tendency was also noticeable in the dialog with the participants this evening.

Bitkom working group - public procurement – 10.04.2019 in Berlin

The meeting day was packed with news from the various activities of the working group. First of all, an overview of the current status of the EVB-IT Cloud. Proposal and presentation of a possible cooperation between the working group Smart Cities/working group Law in Business and the working group Public Procurement in order to better present the challenge of Smart City initiatives. Presentation of the Committee: European Standardization for Procurement. Update on the Social Sustainability Commitment for IT Procurement. The coming activities will show whether this topic may even trigger a new working group within Bitkom - exciting in any case.

Bitkom working group - Intellectual Property – 03.04.2019 in Berlin

After the DSGVO the copyright reform in the EU Parliament now determines the agenda of the working group. Who exactly will be affected by these "upload filters"? Will there be a grandfathering or even a general amnesty for Germany? Particularly when it comes to software and Open Source the industry is dismissing the possible consequences.

OSADL Special Events - HOT - Heidelberg OSADL Talks 2019 – 25.03.2019 in Heidelberg

As usual, a very good and entertaining overview of Open Source, also beyond the GNU family, with a focus on licenses for delivery. The highlight of the morning session was the presentation of the "OSADL Open Source License Obligations Checklists" project to which we do not have a technical connection alone.

Bitkom Arbeitskreis - Quality Management – 20.02.2019 in Frankfurt

In the presentation "Continuous *, ... Continuous Quality" we discussed the continuous automated aspects of modern development. We introduced concepts of Continuous Architecture (also Agile Architecture) and Continuous Integration. From this, further continuous concepts were derived. In the area of Continuous Compliance, we presented basic metrics for evaluating compliance with respect to software licenses and security vulnerabilities.
We venture the thesis that with sufficient automation of operations and sharp metrics and rules to assure compliance, agility and compliance can be combined with pinpoint accuracy and conclude with the challenges of doing so today.

Bitkom working group - Open Source – 14.02.2019 in Darmstadt

The Bitkom Working Group - Open Source is currently working intensively on the topic of employee contributions and collaboration with Open Source in the company. On 14.11.2018, the working group met in Darmstadt with a program of experience reports paired with legal perspectives.
For the {metæffekt} an opportunity to point out some questions from practice and to discuss them in the round.

3th {metæffekt} seminar - Innovation model Open Source in practice – 29.01.2019 in Heidelberg

For the third time, the day seminar Innovation Model Open Source in Practice took place at the SRH University Heidelberg on January 29 2019. Together with students of business informatics and cross-media design, we worked on the basics of license compliance and the use of Open Source. The mixture of theory and practice was again very well received by the students.

What is a blessing for development can be a curse for other disciplines in the company. If one tries to classify containers in the context of an enterprise view, it becomes clear that this requires a deeper understanding of the technology.
