2015 State of the Software Supply Chain: DevOps and the Illusion of Control
Derek E. Weeks, Sonatype
This year, I authored the 2015 State of the Software Supply Chain Report - a quantitative analysis of 160,000 software development organizations that consumed 17 billion open source and proprietary software components from over 100,000 projects. While the average organization consumed 240,000 components in 2014, the study revealed evidence of inefficient software sourcing practices, building in outdated components, and using software with known security vulnerabilities or potentially risky license types by mistake. Attendees will learn how leading organizations are applying proven supply chain principles from the manufacturing industry toward improving their DevOps and Continuous Delivery practices.

In 2015, I led the largest and most comprehensive analysis of software supply chain practices to date across 160,000 development organizations. I am a huge advocate of applying proven supply chain management principles into DevOps practices to improve efficiencies, reduce costs, and sustain long-lasting competitive advantages. As a 20+ year veteran of the software industry, I have advised leading businesses on IT performance improvement practices covering continuous delivery, business process management, systems and network operations, service management, capacity planning, and storage management. As the VP and DevOps Advocate for Sonatype, I am passionate about changing the way people think about software supply chains and improving public safety through improved software integrity.
