Game developers are adopting newer models of software development that rely on the use of software components from a variety of sources, including proprietary and other third-party code sets, as well as re-use of components from other projects. These techniques make the development process more efficient and speed time to market. This model necessitates a platform, like Black Duck's family of solutions, that will manage the policies governing gov·ern v. gov·erned, gov·ern·ing, gov·erns v.tr. 1.

Company representatives will also discuss exportIP, the newest addition to the Black Duck solution set.
