“Revenera SBOM Insights enables software suppliers to ingest data from a wide range of sources, unifying all SBOMs across the organization into a single, actionable view to easily identify outdated components, security vulnerabilities, and open source license compliance issues,” said Nicole Segerer, SVP and General Manager of Revenera.

Great Place to Work® is the global authority on workplace culture.

Flexera’s certification is driven by an employee engagement survey that measured the extent to which employees across the organisation reported a consistently great workplace experience, considering factors such as their daily encounters of innovation, inclusivity, company values and the effectiveness of its leaders.

“OpenChain and Revenera share a value: we both want to increase trust and transparency in open source software usage. Our adoption of the OpenChain specification further demonstrates our commitment to lead by example.

The Revenera report analyzes data from more than 100 open source audit projects conducted in 2021, identifying trends related to companies’ use of open source software (OSS) and their awareness of the associated license compliance and security risks. This global, cross-industry study evaluated more than 2.6 billion lines of code and found that companies are only aware of 17% of the open source components they use, a 4 percent increase in the past year.

MSIX, Microsoft’s packaging format, is the newest replacement for the Microsoft Software Installer (MSI) and Setup EXE installer technologies that have been around for decades. MSIX continues to gain acceptance and adoption because of the benefits it brings in terms of security, ease of use, and reliability in application installations. Revenera’s InstallShield helps software producers build MSIX packages for this new, modern runtime environment intended to protect both their applications and end-user systems.

“Our report clearly shows that product management teams have done their homework. Seventy percent of companies are collecting software usage insights today. This number will only grow. Without data-driven decisions, innovation and revenue growth can be stymied,” said Nicole Segerer, VP of Products and Marketing at Revenera. “However, simply collecting data isn’t enough: leading companies automate the process and access to the data to get the best possible results out of their usage insights.”

“Receiving this award for the tenth consecutive year reaffirms that our culture continues to be one where employees feel supported, connected and valued,” said Jim Ryan, President and CEO of Flexera. “On behalf of our company and our customers, I thank our employees for giving us this honor again.”

Great Place to Work^® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation.

“Revenera continues lead in the monetization, software composition analysis and installation markets, in part because we spend so much time and energy listening to our customers and continuously delivering value. The software industry is adopting subscription broadly, and it is more aligned with our customer-centric business philosophy,” said Brent Pietrzak, SVP and General Manager of Revenera.

Industry-Wide Move to Subscription

“Software companies are looking for ways to move to SaaS offerings and recurring revenue. While the transition accelerates, they must also deliver on the needs of their end customers, who might not be able to move at the same pace. The result is a robust mix of monetization and delivery models that technology companies offer today,” said Nicole Segerer, VP of Products and Marketing at Revenera. “Suppliers that want to get ahead of the growing complexity invest in better understanding product usage so they can make better informed roadmap decisions.”

With this new release, Revenera also announced the availability of a cloud licensing option that eliminates the operational overhead required to get the solution up and running, easing the process for users of adopting InstallShield and better supporting cloud build environments. Software vendors using InstallShield can now choose between local and cloud managed licensing, making it easier to adapt the implementation to meet their own and their customers’ needs  in connected and disconnected environments.

Revenera’s Software Container Delivery accelerates and automates revenue recognition for software producers by ensuring entitlement-based delivery to end customers. With more producers moving to cloud-native deployment models, there is a big market need to cover the full process - from provisioning to customer delivery - in a seamless process, making sure that software is only delivered to paying customers and revenue gets recognized in seconds.

The Growth of SCA and SBOM

In the last few years, the software industry saw increased demand for software composition analysis (SCA) vendors to provide guidance not just on how to manage open source and risk, but to be able to disclose a list of components, complete with software supply chain partners. New regulations, implemented by organizations like PCI, MITRE, National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), put increased ownership on organizations to:

The report analyzes data from 2020 audit services projects, evaluating the prevalence of open source software (OSS), the under-reporting of that use, and the resulting license compliance issues and security vulnerabilities. This global, cross-industry study by Revenera’s audit services team evaluated more than 2.1 billion lines of code and uncovered 174,334 issues.
