Project Management

Installation
Working in conjunction with your team, Black Duck consultants select and configure your system hardware, prepare and optimize the operating system, and install and configure your Black Duck solution. We perform the initial client installation as well as verify and tune the installation for optimal performance. Not only do our consultants ensure your installation meets your requirements, we also ensure the implementation does not burden your busy IT staff.
Configuration and Integration
Since no two implementations are exactly alike, Black Duck is ready to customize the configuration and integration with your development tools. Configuration will include the implementation of the Black Duck Suite to match your processes, building the forms to collect and organize the data you need, and creating customized approval workflows. We can pre-populate your software catalog with components you currently track or that are discovered during analysis. We also configure the Black Duck Suite for optimal performance and improved accuracy.
Black Duck consultants can integrate our solution with your development tools; automate compliance functions; customize templates, reports, interfaces, and databases; and perform other integration work to create a customized solution for your enterprise.
