WALTHAM, Massachusetts, July 27, 2010 - Black Duck Software, a leading global provider of products and services

Black Duck(TM) Suite. The comprehensive suite provides a platform for

SAP, which previously used complex, time-consuming and partly manual
processes for handling open source approvals and the legal compliance aspects
of open source use, sought a scalable, enterprise-strength platform to
further automate the management, compliance, and integration of open source
software into its development life cycle. After researching available tools
and platforms, SAP chose the Black Duck Suite to support SAP developers
worldwide with the suite's automated, developer-oriented, multi-function
platform, which supports scanning, early detection and management of open
source used in software development.

"When we established the open source approval process at SAP in 2001, we
assumed we'd receive only a few open source requests per month," said Francis
Ip, head of SAP Global Technology Legal Compliance. "However, with the
continuously increasing importance of open source globally and SAP's recent
strategic change towards systematically utilizing benefits that come with
open source, it was necessary for us to scale our open source process through
further automation. We conducted an exhaustive search of applications on the
market, and the Black Duck Suite was the best solution we tested. The Black
Duck Suite will help us further automate and scale our open source process in
order to support our open source strategy."

"Using the Black Duck Suite will help SAP developers reduce the amount of
code that needs to be developed while increasing the velocity of
development," said Peter Vescuso, executive vice president, Black Duck
Software. "Automating the use and management of open source software also
will yield the benefits of compliance with software license obligations,
reducing risk and improving developer efficiency."
