Why organizations should commit to innersource in 2020

Innersource is a methodology that applies open source development practices to closed source projects within companies, fostering collaboration, transparency, and efficiency across globally distributed teams. This approach encourages teams to make their code accessible, promoting a culture of openness that enhances code quality, speeds up the delivery process, and allows for the discovery and reuse of existing code. Companies like Ford, Zendesk, and Nationwide have embraced innersource to break down silos, improve security, and facilitate innovation by enabling self-service project creation. By adopting these practices, organizations can leverage the collective expertise of their workforce, reduce redundancies, and maintain high standards of security and quality, ultimately transforming the way proprietary software is developed across industries.
