Active Admin for enterprise
</h2>
<p>
<a href="https://tidelift.com/subscription/pkg/rubygems-activeadmin?utm_source=rubygems-activeadmin&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=enterprise">
Available as part of the Tidelift Subscription
</a>
</p>
<p>
Active Admin and the maintainers of thousands of other packages are
working with Tidelift to deliver one enterprise subscription that
covers all of the open source you use.
</p>
<p>
If you want the flexibility of open source and the confidence of
commercial-grade software, this is for you.

<h3>
The Tidelift Subscription manages your dependencies for you.
</h3>
<ul>
<li>
Get the tools you need to continuously catalog and understand the open source software that your application depends on.
</li>
<li>
Your subscription helps pay the open source maintainers of the exact
packages you use to ensure they meet the standards you require.
</li>
<li>
Address issues proactively, with tools that scan for new security,
licensing, and maintenance issues, and alert our participating open
source maintainers so they can resolve them on your behalf.
</li>
<li>
Measure and improve your open source dependencies' health—which
improves your app’s health—and get a short list of high-impact steps
your team can take to improve them even more.
</li>
<li>
Get commercial assurances that don't come for free with open source
packages, like intellectual property indemnification and support
under a service level agreement. You expect these guarantees from
proprietary software, and you can have them when using open source
as well.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
The end result? All of the capabilities you expect from
commercial-grade software, for the full breadth of open source you
use. That means less time grappling with esoteric open source trivia,
and more time building your own applications—and your business.
