GitHub: Migrating and Unifying Software Development Tools

Our client, a Mexican petroleum company, wanted to streamline its software development process but ran into issues with tools like Azure DevOps and GitLab. They needed to focus on software quality, automate workflows, and set up a single deployment process. This led them to migrate and bring all tools together on GitHub Enterprise Cloud, with CleverIT as their strategic partner to make it happen.

Our Clever Approach

To tackle this, CleverIT proposed a smooth migration plan that included setup, training, and support for GitHub Enterprise Cloud. Our approach covered:

• Tool Assessment for a complete review of the current setup to shape the best migration strategy.
• Hands-On Training for the client’s team on managing GitHub Enterprise Cloud, including security and advanced API tips.
• Seamless Migration with guidance on reviewing and merging repositories.
• Workflow Automation Training using GitHub Actions to get the most out of automated processes.
  

The project flowed through four key phases: first, we did a deep dive into their current repositories and CI/CD processes to set a solid base. Next, we trained their IT team to manage the new platform with confidence. Then, we provided hands-on support throughout the migration to ensure everything went smoothly. Finally, we wrapped up with specific training on automating workflows with GitHub Actions.

A Successful Migration

This project had a big impact, delivering these outcomes:

• Unified Tools: Moving to GitHub Enterprise Cloud brought everything together on one platform, making work more efficient.
• Better Software Quality: We put in place security policies and best practices, helping the team reach higher quality standards.
• Automated Processes: With GitHub Actions, CI/CD automation became easier, speeding up workflows and reducing delivery times.
• Empowered Team: The client’s team gained skills to manage GitHub confidently, allowing them to handle repositories and workflows independently.

This success story shows the power of the right solution and thorough training in adopting new technology like GitHub. Keeping the client’s needs at the center and working together were key to achieving these goals.
