 How reuse, collaboration, and transparency drive measurable ROI.

InnerSource brings open source ways of working inside the organization, enabling teams to reuse shared components, collaborate across silos, and improve software delivery efficiency. But to secure ongoing investment, leaders need a clear way to measure its impact.

This white paper introduces a practical framework for quantifying the value of InnerSource in financial services and other large, multi-team environments, with a focus on cost savings from reuse, faster time-to-market, reduced maintenance effort, and shared contributions across teams. It outlines how to capture the right data, apply consistent metrics, and communicate results in a way that resonates with both technical and executive stakeholders.

Whether you’re building an InnerSource program or scaling one, this paper provides insights into the metrics, methods, and tools needed to demonstrate tangible ROI and support strategic decision-making.
