Implementing GitHub Copilot in the Company

The implementation of GitHub Copilot involves a set of preparation and execution measures to ensure that all elements interact smoothly and deliver the desired results. We support you at every stage, ensuring the implementation is a success.

We pay particular attention to the preparation phase, which starts with a GitHub Copilot course and a careful transition using a small pilot group before the full rollout.

Security and Compliance

In this sensitive area, we verify whether the use of GitHub Copilot complies with your company’s internal security and data protection guidelines. We also ensure that sensitive data is not passed on by the AI and that Copilot meets your compliance requirements.

Beyond checking general standards, additional security measures can be applied, such as restricting AI usage to specific areas.

Change Management and Employee Training

The core of change management and employee training should be transparent communication as well as mental and technical preparation for the upcoming changes.

AI will relieve employees from tasks that are often disliked and simultaneously support them in their core activities. As a result, productivity typically increases, along with overall job satisfaction. While AI will not replace a professional developer, it will become an active contributor to the programming process.

Pilot Phase and First Steps

Before the full rollout, a small group will test Copilot under controlled conditions in a secure test environment. This group will gather initial experience and provide regular feedback on the process.

In addition, there will be a training phase with introductory workshops to prepare the team. Training materials will be tailored to the real needs of your organization, and the phase will be accompanied by best practices for using Copilot.
