CEI will assess your current environment, such as TFS, SVN, GitLab, BitBucket, Jenkins, ADO, and others. We will review your repos, branches, folders, users, teams, security tools, integrations, and more.
In addition to providing automated and self-serve migration plans and timelines for a complete migration, CEI will also perform pilot migrations.
Migration
CEI and GitHub partner to migrate the repositories and pipelines at scale to the GitHub Enterprise Cloud. We implement an iterative approach that combines active management with self-service.
What you get:
Perform source code migrations, including the metadata of history – commits, pull requests, hooks, wiki, and any other necessary history to GitHub Enterprise Cloud / Enterprise Manager User instances..
Migrate your existing CI/CD pipelines to GitHub Actions workflows so you can accelerate the delivery by custom workflows and automation.
Accelerate migrations and bring your delivery teams to GitHub Enterprise Cloud faster with expert-led automated & self-serve processes.
Phase 1
Initiation:
CEI will work alongside your team to begin onboarding the team, getting access to migration tools, and mapping internal processes.
Phase 2
Establish Baseline Process:
Prepare the environment to migrate repositories and integrations. Migration will follow a pre-defined roadmap and checklist from the DevOps Migration Playbook. Overall migration status will be reported every week and displayed via dashboard.
Phase 3
Team Migrations:
CEI will onboard your teams, analyze their repositories, plan the migration timeline in batches, perform the migration, and validate.
Actions
CEI and GitHub will partner with you to implement GitHub Actions at scale for your enterprise to accelerate build automation and integration into your workflows.
What you get:
- GitHub Actions makes it easy to automate all your workflows from idea to production – CI/CD, build, test, deploy your code and integrations.
- Build end-to-end actions workflows – to securely authenticate to your cloud and enable your team to automate and standardize software development lifecycle and security governance across all your organizations.
- Automate beyond your source code build – Develop IssueOps, ChatOps tools and workflows to build an operating model easier for developers.
- Support third-party integrations for your organization using GitHub actions from partners and the community.
CEI can also seamlessly migrate your existing pipelines (such as Jenkins, Azure DevOps, etc.) to the modern GitHub Actions platform.
Advanced Security
CEI and GitHub partner to implement the GitHub Actions at scale for your enterprises to speed up the build automation and integrate into your workflows. And CEI offers migration services to migrate your existing pipelines, such as Jenkins, Azure DevOps pipelines to the modern GitHub Actions platform.

Why DevSecOps Matters
Early adopters of DevSecOps are 2.6x more likely to keep up with frequent application updates, and are able to fix vulnerabilities 2x faster.
Benefits of DevSecOps include:
Increased customer and market trust, driving loyalty and adoption
Supports innovation and a work culture that promotes constant delivery and quick recovery from failures
Enterprise-wide security approach, where cybersecurity becomes a shared responsibility across all teams and individuals in an organization
Cost reduction via risk of cost due to attacks, as well as process efficiency cost (such as reduced time to identify and fix vulnerabilities)
GitHub Advanced Security
Adopt GitHub Advanced Security at scale to ensure security controls in your pipelines – from day one.
What you get:
Code Scanning
Examine your code for security issues in real-time as you’re writing it. Integrate fixes natively into your developer workflow.
Secret Scanning
Prevent unauthorized access by proactively scanning for secrets pre-commit and searching repositories for leaked secrets that may have accidentally been pushed to your code.
Supply Chain Security
Catch vulnerable dependencies before you introduce them into your codebase by understanding dependency changes and the security impact at every pull request.
Security Overview
Get access to a single, centralized view of the security risks throughout your entire organization.
Third-party Security Integrations
Automate, customize, and execute your software development workflows in the same place you code.
