Executing open source strategy which works at scale inside a large complex corporation is all about understanding the needs of each constituent group, the questions they need to get answered, and what tools can be infused into existing processes so all parties succeed. Organizations typically have open source strategies which revolve around cost reduction, managing technical debt and increasing speed to market. But these strategies must meet the needs of several critical groups in order to be successful; including the engineering community, technology leadership, and the in-house legal department.

Kevin and Ben will walk attendees through the primary UHG OSPO customer personas, and how they employ processes and open source tools to play a vital role in the engineering success for a Fortune 5 company with a technology team over 28K members strong.
