BOSTON and PHOENIX --(Business Wire)-- Black Duck Software, the leading global provider of software compliance management solutions, today announced a series of activities at two trade shows scheduled for this week that will introduce the newest version of the Company's flagship product. In conjunction with a major new release of its protexIP(TM)/development system, Black Duck will demonstrate protexIP/development 4.0 at the Embedded Systems Conference, September 25-28 at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, and at Gartner's Open Source Summit, September 27-29 at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Hotel & Spa in Phoenix.



At the Embedded Systems Conference, Black Duck will demonstrate in booth 520 to embedded software developers who face significant consequences, including production delays, for not establishing software compliance processes. Black Duck's solutions aid developers, managers, legal parties, and other third parties to manage the licenses governing software components within developed applications.

At the Gartner Open Source Summit, Black Duck (booth C) will discuss the benefits of a full enterprise software compliance management platform. Black Duck's solutions provide multiple interfaces, catered to various corporate parties that have an interest in software license compliance. For example, while legal counsel is given a specific view into license issues, different information is provided to software developers who only need to know immediate action items to rectify concerns.

"The reality of today's software development process demands a platform for addressing licensing compliance, and as long as that platform is in place, enterprises can benefit fully from the advantages of new methods of building applications from components," said Douglas Levin, CEO of Black Duck Software. "Given the strategic and day to day tactical importance of software compliance to companies, we are unveiling our new software version at two events that reach many roles within the enterprise--from developers all the way to c-level executives."

Yesterday, Black Duck announced protexIP/development 4.0 (See related release: "Black Duck Software Unveils Major New Version of Software Compliance Management System," September 25, 2006).
