Organizations can easily quantify the value of open source and identify areas to fully tap into their open source potential with EPAM’s OSPulse Enterprise-Level Analytics Open Source Dashboard

EPAM Systems, Inc., a leading digital transformation services and product engineering company, announced the launch of OSPulse, an enterprise-level analytics dashboard for monitoring open source engagement within an organization. The dashboard offers an intuitive interface with seamless implementation and customizable reporting to easily track a company’s open source contributions and impact.

“EPAM’s OSPulse actively evaluates open source engagement throughout the business,” said Christopher Howard, Head of the Open Source Program Office at EPAM. “The dashboard provides a holistic view of individual and companywide open source contributions across platforms, solutions and projects to help organizations see the impact of their contributions and make data-driven decisions about strategy, resourcing and employee engagement.”
