Intellectual Property Management Issues for Development

To maximize intellectual property (IP) value and mitigate risk while operating in an open source application development environment, enterprises need to understand the distinction between real and perceived risks and values by utilizing processes, governance and tools. This is particularly important when involving an outsourcing partner. A lack of intellectual property capture and protection makes it harder for the outsourcing company to move from one outsource vendor to another.  As a software development "value chain" evolves over time, with changes in the business and technology environments, the value of leveraging open source software may grow or decrease in value. So it makes sense to understand and review open source arrangements.  In this scenario, if the intellectual properties associated with managing and producing the product are no longer available, significant flexibility will be lost.

Make SOA Governance A High Priority

Today's enterprises face growing regulatory pressures with legislation such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, HIPAA, the Patriot Act and others. As a result, corporate and IT governance - the processes, controls and reporting infrastructure over business and IT activities, respectively - are becoming progressively more pervasive as a means for providing the compliance infrastructure necessary to satisfy this list of complex regulations. Combine this increased pressure for corporate traceability and visibility with the "next big thing" in software, service-oriented architecture (SOA), and you have a challenging governance environment to say the least. SOA's loosely-coupled nature forces IT away from monolithic application development and deployment, and as a result it greatly increases the number of moving parts that must be managed and governed.
