WEX, a global fintech company that processes payments for fleet management, employee benefits, and corporate spending, consolidated a fractured developer ecosystem of 300+ Azure DevOps organizations onto GitHub Enterprise and deployed GitHub Copilot across its engineering workforce of 1,700+. The result was approximately 30% higher developer productivity, ~60% ROI on Copilot licenses, and a 99% reduction in deployment cycle times.
AstraZeneca, one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies, unified 5,000 developers and scientists onto GitHub Enterprise, automated CI/CD with GitHub Actions, and deployed GitHub Copilot — achieving a 40% increase in developer velocity in its pilot program and generating 9 to 10 additional hours of productive output per developer each week. With drug development timelines measured in decades, the company views even marginal acceleration as directly impacting patient outcomes.
Cathay, the Hong Kong-based premium travel brand that operates Cathay Pacific airline across 100 destinations with 30,000+ employees, unified its development and security toolchain on GitHub Enterprise, deployed GitHub Copilot to 1,000+ developers, and embedded security scanning into daily workflows through GitHub Advanced Security. The result was a 63% reduction in mean time to remediate security vulnerabilities and a 40% year-over-year improvement in tech debt fixes.
General Motors consolidated 19,000+ developers and 150,000 repositories from 40+ fragmented tools onto GitHub Enterprise Cloud, reducing a critical build from 4–6 hours to 27 minutes. By adopting GitHub Advanced Security with Copilot Autofix and deploying GitHub Copilot to 8,000+ developers, GM remediated 100% of leaked secrets and modernized legacy COBOL and Fortran systems.
