Case Study: AstraZeneca accelerates medicine discovery with GitHub and AI

AstraZeneca boosts developer velocity 40% with GitHub

AstraZeneca faced a fragmented technology ecosystem with varied tools and deployment processes, which hindered collaboration and slowed their ability to deliver value. To streamline operations and accelerate medicine discovery, the customer adopted GitHub Enterprise, seeking to unify its developers and integrate automation and AI.

By migrating to GitHub Enterprise, AstraZeneca consolidated its development platform and implemented GitHub Actions for automation and GitHub Copilot for AI-powered development. This solution led to a 40% increase in developer velocity, gave developers an extra 9-10 hours of output per week, and saw a 100% increase in automation activity within a year, significantly accelerating their critical work.
