Case Study: Bendigo and Adelaide Bank accelerates DevOps transformation with GitLab

how GitLab is accelerating DevOps at Bendigo and Adelaide Bank

Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, an Australia-based financial services institution, needed to reduce complexity and operational costs across a fragmented DevOps toolchain. The bank was relying on GitHub on-premises along with separate tools for CI/CD and security, which made maintenance heavy and visibility across the software development lifecycle difficult. GitLab Ultimate was selected to help centralize development workflows and support the bank’s digital transformation goals.

With GitLab, Bendigo and Adelaide Bank consolidated GitHub, Jenkins, and Checkmarx into a single platform, migrated 1,500 projects, 500 users, and 50GB of data in under four weeks, and moved 32 apps in 30 days. GitLab enabled SaaS-based operations, multi-cloud deployments, improved collaboration, and better governance, while lowering maintenance costs and increasing agility. The bank now has a more streamlined toolchain, faster onboarding, and stronger momentum toward its cloud migration targets.
