"We are excited about partnering with OGIS-RI to extend our reach in the Japanese market to help every software-enabled organization create better software and deliver more value to their customers."

OGIS-RI is a pioneer of object-oriented technology in Japan. The company has provided software engineering professional services with cutting-edge technologies and expertise to various industries, including manufacturing, finance and utilities, for more than three decades.

Co. Ltd, the second-largest gas utility company in Japan, and provides full life cycle support for the IT systems of its parent company.

"OGIS-RI has come to the conclusion that Coverity is the best static code analysis tool for its solutions," said Junzo Suzuki, executive officer, member of the board, head of Services Business Division for OGIS-RI.

"Integrating our open source license and vulnerability management tool, Palamida, into Coverity will allow us to offer customers a comprehensive solution that enables shorter time-to-market and enhanced reliability in software development. We believe that this will bring to customers' development projects greater security and speed than ever before.
