Software Improvement Group’s Software Assurance-platform; Sigrid® er nu tilgængelig gennem SKI’s 02.06 rammeaftale


Den offentlige sektor i Danmark får nu lettere adgang til at forbedre kvaliteten i deres software via Software Improvement Group (SIG) med det klare formål at reducere vedligeholdelses-omkostninger, håndtere sikkerhedstrusler, eksponere skjulte risici og forbedre agiliteten i deres applikationer.


KØBENHAVN, den. 2. juni 2021 – Software Improvement Group (SIG) annoncerede i dag, at de er valgt som udbyder på SKIs (Staten og Kommunernes Indkøbsservice A/S) rammeaftale til at levere sin løsning inden for software assurance til den offentlige sektor i Danmark.

Med SKI-aftalen i hånden kan den offentlige sektor i Danmark nu købe Sigrid® software assurance-platformen og tilknyttede rådgivningstjenester i henhold til kravene om udbud – uden at udføre langvarige og dyre indkøbsprocesser.

Sigrid kombinerer kodeanalyse baseret på ISO 25010 (Software produkt kvalitet) med SIG-konsulenternes ekspertise til at komplementere platformens kontinuerlige monitorering af byggekvaliteten i software, herunder arkitektur, vedligeholdelsesgraden, sikkerhed og agilitet. Platformen gør det muligt, at have én kilde til information om kvalitet og risici i applikationsporteføljen, således at CIO'en, produkt-ejeren, arkitekten og udvikleren har samme grundlag at arbejde med - og samarbejde ud fra. I samspillet mellem Sigrid og SIG’s konsulenter prioriteres anbefalinger til en indsats, som vil have den største indvirken på de ønskede forbedringer.

Luc Brandts, CEO i SIG: “Da Sigrid og de relaterede konsulenttjenester nu kan indkøbes gennem SKI, har den danske offentlige sektor nu bedre adgang til de bedste løsninger inden for software assurance på markedet. Bevidstheden om hvor vigtigt kvaliteten af software er inden for den danske offentlige sektor bliver hele tiden større, og vi ser frem til at kunne understøtte behovene som SKI-leverandør.”

SIG M&A Software Analysis Reveals Concerning Trends In Software Quality

NEW YORK, NY, USA, June 10, 2024

Software Improvement Group (SIG), the leading independent institute specializing in software health analysis, has significant concerns about the quality of software involved in mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Out of 531 M&A-related software projects analyzed, SIG found that the average software quality scores were significantly below the market average. This implies that companies face two times lower development efficiency and a considerably higher risk of defects and vulnerabilities.

Key findings

  • Quality Scores Below Market Average: The study revealed that software involved in these transactions often lags behind industry standards, presenting substantial risks for acquirers.
  • High Technical Debt: On average, technical debt constitutes 31% of the total code volume, indicating severe underlying issues in software maintainability and scalability.
  • Informed Investment Decisions: Companies that utilized SIG’s software economics methodology were able to make strategic investments to mitigate these technical debt challenges effectively.

SIG possesses unparalleled expertise and resources to assess the build quality, scalability, and security of software assets. With the world’s largest software metrics database, encompassing an impressive 200 billion lines of code and 18,000 system inspections spanning over 300 technologies, SIG provides comprehensive evaluations that stand as a testament to our unwavering dedication to creating a healthier digital world.

Luc Brands, CEO of Software Improvement Group: “At SIG, we believe private equity firms are not as in control as they could and should be. Through software economics, we ensure thorough code analysis, benchmarking, architecture investigation, and cost modeling. This approach guarantees clarity regarding the true scalability of acquired assets.”

To further facilitate this conversation, Software Improvement Group and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) will be hosting a webinar titled “Software Economics for Private Equity: How to Evaluate the Quality and Value of Software Assets” on June 27th. The webinar will provide private equity companies with insights into the importance of software asset valuation. Private equity firms are invited to join the webinar to gain valuable knowledge and insights from industry experts.

In conclusion, software assets represent a significant opportunity for private equity firms to drive value creation. By embracing advanced software economics and leveraging SIG’s expertise, private equity firms can make informed decisions that maximize returns and mitigate risks in their software investments.
