Case Study: MailChimp achieves faster developer onboarding with GitHub Enterprise

MailChimp - Customer Case Study

MailChimp, the marketing-email platform used by millions of businesses, needed to simplify a growing and increasingly complex development process. In 2015, its team was using a mix of custom and proprietary tools, and the company wanted a more familiar, scalable setup with GitHub Enterprise Server and open source software.

GitHub helped MailChimp consolidate its tools and create a shared environment for engineers, writers, testers, and marketers to collaborate more openly. The biggest measurable result was a dramatic onboarding improvement: developer ramp-up dropped from three months to just three days, with some new hires contributing code on day one. GitHub also supported better cross-team visibility and easier sharing of MailChimp’s public style guide.
