A GitHub Case Study
SAP, one of the world’s largest business software providers, needed a faster, more collaborative way to support its 35,000+ developers as it scaled, moved to the cloud, and increased open source participation. To meet those demands, SAP adopted GitHub Enterprise to improve workflows, share code more effectively, and help teams keep up with rising expectations for speed, security, and innovation.
GitHub implemented a centralized platform for more than 6,000 GitHub organizations and 155,000 repositories at SAP, enabling innersource collaboration, open source contributions, and tighter DevOps integration. The result was faster deployments, 24/7 cross-time-zone development, and stronger community engagement—SAP became a top-ten open source contributor in 2017, while 95% of developers use GitHub frequently and the platform ranks highest in internal software tool satisfaction.
