Case Study: FactSet improves code search and developer productivity with Sourcegraph

FactSet migrates from Perforce to GitHub

FactSet, a large financial data and software company, was in the middle of a major migration from a monolithic Perforce codebase to microservices in GitHub. During the transition, developers lost the ability to search across repositories, making it difficult to understand existing code, avoid duplicate work, and keep implementations consistent. FactSet turned to Sourcegraph to restore efficient code search across its growing engineering environment.

With Sourcegraph, FactSet enabled search across 12,000+ repositories in any language, including C++, helping teams find examples, reuse code, and eliminate redundant efforts. The rollout expanded from an initial team to more than 500 developers, with users saying it became a must-have tool used daily. Sourcegraph helped FactSet make a smooth transition from Perforce to GitHub while improving productivity, consistency, and code reuse.
