Case Study: Barclays PLC supercharges innovation and developer experience with GitLab

Barclays PLC boosts innovation with GitLab as Duo adoption reaches 23,000 users

Barclays PLC, a major multinational banking institution, faced challenges with a fragmented development ecosystem, a lack of standardized security controls, and inefficient processes that hindered innovation and developer productivity. To address this, the bank adopted GitLab Ultimate and its AI-powered GitLab Duo suite to modernize its core DevSecOps toolchain and streamline its software development lifecycle.

By implementing GitLab's integrated platform, Barclays standardized security controls, automated manual tasks, and provided developers with AI-assisted coding and troubleshooting. The results included finding and fixing vulnerabilities earlier, dramatically improving developer satisfaction, and accelerating release frequency. Adoption of GitLab Duo grew rapidly to 23,000 users, supercharging productivity and innovation. GitLab provided a secure foundation that enabled Barclays to reinforce its position as a technology leader in financial services.
