SpikeSource Platform Ecosystem Management (PEM) defines a new industry standard for application compliance and is specifically designed to address the unique needs of platform vendors in the software, server, cloud and mobile industries. By automating the process of assembling, testing, validating and remediating application compliance issues, SpikeSource Platform Ecosystem Management transforms inefficient, disjointed enablement processes into a two-way, collaborative workflow.
SpikeSource supports practically any application on any platform -- open source, closed source; web-based, binaries; server, desktop, mobile, appliances, etc. – providing solution analysis, prescriptive guidance, vulnerability assessments, and more.
The SpikeSource Application Analyzer is a self-service tool that identifies compatibility, compliance and security issues in a developer’s application. Once a binary scan is performed, application dependencies are identified and all platform, partner and 3rd party components are also discovered including Application Program Interfaces (APIs) used.
SpikeSource Security Monitoring Service continuously tracks all software components for security updates. Developer applications are monitored 24X7 against the National Vulnerability Database maintained by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Developers receive detailed vulnerability reports via real time Email alerts providing recommended remediation actions such as applying critical patches and version updates.
SpikeSource Prescriptive Guidance provides developers with automated and targeted technical recommendations and instructions unique to each ISV's application. This specific guidance provides developers with timely and actionable remediation instructions such as migrating to a new version, and leveraging underutilized features.
SpikeSource Compliance Framework replaces one-off platform enablement tasks with a highly collaborative, standardized workflow. The workflow guides developers through standardized steps with predictable outcomes. At each step, SpikeSource provides developers with precisely the information needed to advance through the process, and because delivery of that information is automated, partner support resources can focus on re-certifications and higher-levels of competencies.
SpikeSource Platform Ecosystem Intelligence captures component-level information about ISV applications and developer activities and delivers it to key platform vendor stakeholders. A convenient dashboard enables platform vendors to quickly identify which programs are delivering the desired results as well as those requiring improvements.
