Goals
Data Insights uses billions of data points from the Sonatype Community, the open-source community, and our customers to give you a new perspective on open-source consumption patterns and technologies within your organization.
The goal of Data Insights is to kickstart a discussion about how, when, and why your organization consumes open-source components. Ideally, these analyses will help you prepare and implement good open-source governance policies.
