Case Study: Ford accelerates collaborative software development with GitHub Enterprise

Ford is building the modern car with innovative technologies and GitHub Enterprise

Ford needed a way to modernize software development across many teams that had each built their own processes over decades, especially as cars became increasingly software-driven. Using GitHub Enterprise, Ford looked to replace legacy tools and disconnected workflows with a more modern, collaborative platform that could support complex vehicle software development.

GitHub implemented a standardized environment that helped Ford unify development practices, speed up adoption, and enable innersourcing and cross-team collaboration. The impact was significant: onboarding time dropped to a few days, the platform grew from an initial goal of 100 developers to more than 9,000 employees worldwide, and Ford now uses GitHub as the center of its broader software ecosystem.
