ZEISS and SAP – An Open Source Talk
The Open Source Way
Exploring TICE's Broad Scope: From Optics to Software Development
Exploring TICE's expansion into various industries beyond optics, from quality solutions to software development, and their collaboration with Microsoft and embrace of open source software.
In this episode Karsten Hohage talks with our guests Holger Streidl, Corporate Open Source Officer at Carl Zeiss AG and Peter Giese, Director of the SAP Open Source Program Office. They address many of the questions that arise for an enterprise when establishing an OSPO and talk about the commonalities or differences of the OSPOs and their approaches at ZEISS and SAP – for example, when creating policies, building a legal framework, ensuring license compliance, or setting up training and education for the internal community.
