Case Study: Elanco accelerates development and improves security with GitHub

Elanco accelerates development at lightning speed with GitHub

Elanco, an animal health company with more than 40 developers across over 2,000 projects, needed to unify a previously decentralized development model and improve collaboration, security, and developer experience. The company turned to GitHub as its common DevOps platform, using GitHub Actions, GitHub Advanced Security, and GitHub Codespaces to support its digital transformation.

With GitHub, Elanco standardized innersource development, automated deployments, and shifted security left with secret scanning and push protection across all repos. GitHub also cut environment setup time from as long as five days to near-instant onboarding, helping reduce time from ideation to productivity from about 30 days to roughly 30 minutes, while improving software quality and speed.
