Andela helps enterprises get real value from GitHub: migrating to GitHub, modernizing CI/CD on Actions, driving Copilot adoption, and putting governed agentic SDLC practices in place.

Andela is a global AI transformation partner that helps enterprises turn their GitHub investment into measurable engineering impact. We combine GitHub expertise with a vetted global talent network to take organizations from legacy tooling to governed, agent-assisted software delivery.

Our GitHub solutions follow a connected journey (Assess, Move, Adopt, Modernize, Delegate), with security, governance and FinOps built into every stage.

Agentic Engineering Assessment: A review of your repos, pipelines, security posture and Copilot usage, plus an engineer skills baseline. You get a costed, sequenced gap list for each stage of the SDLC.

Migrate & Modernize to GitHub: We move code, history, boards and permissions from Azure DevOps, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jenkins, TFS or SVN, or from GHES to GitHub Enterprise Cloud. We rebuild CI/CD on GitHub Actions with golden-path templates and turn on secret protection and code scanning as part of the move. A dedicated pod delivers the work in waves using GitHub Enterprise Importer and our migration platform. The cost is typically 30–50% below traditional integrators, and full history is preserved.

Copilot Adopt & Impact: Assessment-led enablement applied on your own codebase. Adopt builds everyday agentic fluency for your teams. Impact covers delegation, multi-agent orchestration, governance and cost per task. Participants have improved proficiency from 46% to 78%, and 85% are active within 30 days.

Agentic SDLC Playbook + Templates: Written rules for what agents may do unsupervised and how their work is reviewed. We then turn those rules into custom instructions, custom agents, Copilot code review settings and Agentic Workflows that live in your repos, so GitHub enforces them.

Andela can also provide dedicated, GitHub-skilled engineers who embed with your teams and deliver alongside you.

GitHub and Andela

GitHub provides the platform and agentic tools: GitHub Enterprise, Advanced Security, Actions and Copilot. Andela provides the hands-on expertise and engineering capacity to put them to work, helping customers go from licenses purchased to measurable value.

We co-sell with GitHub account teams on migration and modernization engagements. These engagements help customers consolidate onto GitHub, often ahead of a renewal deadline on another platform. Once customers are on GitHub, our Copilot Adopt & Impact programs and Agentic SDLC Playbook help their engineers adopt Copilot and agents safely, measured on cycle time, PR throughput and agent-authored PRs merged.

Andela has trained more than 200,000 technologists with learning partners including GitHub. We also run joint webinars and events with GitHub, such as our series on optimizing GitHub Copilot token costs.

Use Cases

Migrate to GitHub

Many enterprises still have code spread across Azure DevOps, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jenkins, TFS, SVN or self-hosted servers. That fragmentation slows teams down and keeps them from getting value from GitHub Copilot and agents. Andela consolidates your estate onto GitHub Enterprise Cloud, including moves from GitHub Enterprise Server. A dedicated Andela pod moves code, full history, boards and permissions using GitHub Enterprise Importer and our GitHub Migration Platform, in planned waves so teams keep shipping. We also rebuild CI/CD on GitHub Actions with golden-path templates and switch on secret protection and code scanning as part of the move. Ideal for a consolidation mandate, license renewal, M&A integration or cloud move. - Completed in weeks, not quarters - Typically 30–50% below traditional integrator cost - Full history and review records preserved - A secure foundation ready for Copilot and agents

Drive Copilot Adoption Through Training and Enablement

Many organizations buy GitHub Copilot licenses, but only a few early champions get real value while most engineers stay in manual workflows. The gap is skills, judgment and confidence, not tooling. Andela's Copilot programs are assessment-led and practiced on real code: an enterprise-grade brownfield codebase, with a capstone on your own codebase or ours. Copilot Adopt (101) builds everyday agentic fluency for mid-level and senior engineers in six modules over two weeks or two days, with live workshops, guided practice and a real-world capstone. Copilot Impact (201) is a six-week program for engineers ready for complex workflows: delegation from issue to PR, MCP integrations, multi-agent orchestration, token efficiency and cost governance. Every engineer is assessed at entry and exit, with a 30-day adoption pulse, so we measure proficiency gains and sustained Copilot use, not just course completion. - Proficiency improved from 46% to 78% - 85% of completers active within 30 days - 74% still active weekly at 90 days

Modernize CI/CD on GitHub Actions

Even after code moves to GitHub, many organizations are left with one-off pipeline scripts, inconsistent build steps and security checks that vary by team. Every new project reinvents its path to production, and agents can't reliably automate work without shared standards. Andela rebuilds your CI/CD on GitHub Actions around a small set of standard, reusable workflows. We create golden-path templates for your common build, test and deploy patterns and place them in your repositories, so new projects start on an approved, secure path. Code scanning and secret protection are built in, not added later. We then help teams introduce Agentic Workflows in GitHub Actions for low-risk automation like dependency upgrades, tests and docs. - Standard pipelines instead of bespoke scripts - Templates that enforce security and quality automatically - Faster onboarding for new projects - A foundation ready for agent-driven automation

Put Governance Around AI Agents

GitHub's agents can take an issue all the way to a pull request, but most organizations haven't decided what an agent may do alone, how work is handed to it or who signs off on its code. Without those decisions, agent use stalls or grows without control. Andela helps you make those decisions and build them into GitHub. The Playbook puts your rules in writing, agreed with engineering and security leads: what agents may do unsupervised, starting with low-risk work like tests, upgrades, docs and bug fixes; how to write issues an agent can take; how agent code is reviewed; and when work moves from supervised to autopilot. The Templates turn each rule into setup in your repos: custom instructions, custom agents, tuned Copilot code review, Agentic Workflows, and approved tools and MCP servers managed through the Agent Control Plane. Use Copilot, Claude or Codex under one governance model, measured on cycle time, PR throughput and agent-authored PRs merged.

Assess Readiness for Agentic Engineering

Around 75% of organizations are exploring or deploying AI agents, but only 15% run them autonomously. The blockers are a mix of technical, skills and governance gaps, and it's hard to know which to tackle first. Andela's Agentic Engineering Assessment gives you a data-driven starting point. We review your repositories, pipelines, security posture and Copilot usage, and baseline your engineers' skills using Andela's AI-era skills taxonomy. You get a gap list for each SDLC stage: plan, build, test, review, delegate, automate and secure. Each gap is matched to the work that closes it (migration, training, playbook or templates), then costed and sequenced. Built for organizations evaluating agentic AI or GitHub modernization, especially those with an executive sponsor holding a transformation or AI mandate. - A prioritized investment plan, not a tool list - Scope based on your data, not guesswork - A first phase small enough to approve this quarter
