Today the OpenChain Project welcomes CMS to our growing partner program. The addition of this top 10 international law firm marks another significant expansion of service providers supporting the OpenChain eco-system.
“We at CMS in Germany are excited about the opportunity to work with the OpenChain Project in the future,” says Philippe Heinzke, Counsel for Intellectual Property at CMS in Germany. “Certification and quality assurance for open source software is an important issue for our clients and will continue to pose new challenges for companies and institutions in the future. OpenChain helps to deal with open source software in a legally compliant manner, strengthens trust in suppliers and customers and thus contributes to compliance in digital transformation, but also in classic product development processes.”
“Working with CMS in Germany marks another milestone for the OpenChain Project,” says Shane Coughlan, OpenChain General Manager. “Such partnerships will become increasingly important as OpenChain disseminates further into the automotive, infrastructure and consumer electronics supply chain. Germany is a market of immense importance to our industry standard. We are at the beginning of a journey that will reduce complexity, cost and time-to-market for companies of all sizes in this geography.”
