Case Study: Connect-i achieves 40% faster development with GitLab

Connect-i achieves 40% faster development, enhanced security with GitLab

Connect-i, a Swiss IT company that develops and maintains the Opigno learning management system, was struggling with a fragmented toolchain, manual processes, and limited visibility across development and deployment. With only two engineers handling DevSecOps and security for a 20-person team, the company needed a more efficient and secure way to support its enterprise customers and keep Opigno competitive. GitLab Premium was the platform they chose to help centralize their work.

By adopting GitLab, Connect-i consolidated code, issues, CI/CD, testing, security scanning, and compliance workflows into one platform. The result was 30% to 40% faster development, a 30% reduction in security workload, and more than 1,400 hours of development time saved in 18 months. GitLab also helped Connect-i improve collaboration, reduce deployment issues, and strengthen security and compliance, enabling the small team to deliver better software with fewer resources.
