Across industries, organizations are turning to AI to automate repetitive tasks, streamline complex processes, and enable workers to focus on more strategic, creative initiatives. Tools like GitHub Copilot—shown to speed up task completion by 46% and improve code quality by 39%—are already transforming the way software gets built.

But successful AI adoption is not so simple. It demands strategic planning, structured implementation, and aligning the technology with organizational goals. Businesses large and small will have to implement an individualized and mindful approach to get the most out of an AI solution. 

One company that has had success with GitHub Copilot adoption is Thomson Reuters, a legal, tax, accounting, and media leader. Let’s take a look at the steps they used to implement and scale GitHub Copilot across their engineering organization, and how you can do the same.
## Setting the stage
Thomson Reuters began their AI journey in 2022. Engineering leaders realized that what started as industry buzz was an opportunity to foster engineering excellence within the company–and GitHub Copilot could be just the thing to accelerate their operations. 

But first, they needed to answer several key questions:

- How can GitHub Copilot improve developer efficiency, code quality, and satisfaction?
- Will it align with Thomson Reuters’ broader engineering culture and business goals?
- How can they onboard developers effectively with minimal resistance?

To find these answers, they initiated two small, focused GitHub Copilot pilot programs in  2023. The programs included:

- 100+ engineers from various teams working across a range of tech stacks.
- A commitment from participants to engage in four hours of coding per week with GitHub Copilot and provide weekly feedback.
- A seven-week timeline designed to thoroughly test how GitHub Copilot impacted coding efficiency, quality, and the overall developer experience.

![Thomson Reuters](//images.ctfassets.net/wfutmusr1t3h/3haCu12gZzA9JOv7GpDcuO/6888129493cb5b0a9f3a7de64894c4b0/Screenshot_2025-03-21_at_3.53.03_PM.png)
## Pilot program results
How did it go? 

- 46% faster task completion rate for developers using GitHub Copilot.
- 39% improvement in code quality (measured by the number of changes per PR, indicating more impactful contributions).
- 68% of developers reported a positive user experience, describing the tool as intuitive and easy to integrate into their workflows.

Participant comments further reflected their excitement:

- “It’s like having a mind-reading coding buddy.”
- “I couldn’t imagine working without GitHub Copilot now.”
- “A magical experience—unless, of course, the AI suggestions were off-target!”

Clearly, the pilot outcomes were enough to pave the way for broader adoption.
## Scaling GitHub Copilot across the enterprise
After the pilot’s success, it was time to move from testing to full implementation. Thomson Reuters created a four-stream strategy to scale adoption effectively:
1. Rollout and adoption: By automating license activation and usage tracking, they efficiently onboarded over 2,000 seats for developers across multiple teams.
2. Enablement and training: They established a community of champions—early adopters who became advocates for the tool—and offered in-depth training resources to empower them to make the most of GitHub Copilot.
3. Measurement and reporting: Metrics such as developer efficiency, code quality, and satisfaction, combined with monthly surveys, ensured that any challenges were addressed promptly. This approach also provided a clear way to track ongoing success.
4. Best practices and continuous improvement: The team shared success stories and use cases internally to maintain enthusiasm and optimize strategies for long-term ROI.

## Sustained performance metrics
By expanding their data collection and feedback loops, Thomson Reuters observed the following:

- A 45% decrease in pull request (PR) durations.
- A 44% increase in the number of changes per PR, indicating more impactful contributions from developers.

Even more striking? Developers reported using their newfound efficiency to engage in learning, research, and innovative pursuits, enhancing their overall job satisfaction.

## Lessons for enterprise leaders

Lessons for enterprise leaders
For enterprise leaders like you looking to adopt AI tools like GitHub Copilot, here are the timeless lessons from Thomson Reuters:

1. __Start small and scale__
Pilot programs allow enterprises to test the waters, collect precise feedback, and refine adoption strategies before committing to full-scale implementation.

2. __Focus on the metrics that matter__
Establish quantitative and qualitative metrics early on (even before you start your trial). Whether it’s coding speed or developer satisfaction, identify KPIs that matter to your organization.

3. __Invest in training and support__
Don’t assume everyone will adapt naturally to AI tools. A structured enablement program ensures developers of all skill levels can benefit.

When Wayfair set out to migrate 15,000 repositories from a self-hosted GitHub Enterprise Server to GitHub Cloud, it was clear this wouldn’t be a routine IT exercise. This was a critical infrastructure overhaul touching nearly every corner of the business, from logistics to customer experience. The stakes were high, but the rewards—a more agile development environment, cost savings, and the benefit of advanced features—were more than worth it.

The process revealed critical lessons for leaders driving organizational change. Here's how Wayfair navigated this transformation successfully and what you can learn from their experience.
## 1. Prepare relentlessly but don’t overdo it 💪
Wayfair started with meticulous preparation. 

They prioritized stakeholder engagement and identified key stakeholders early, from repository owners to business units with high churn. This helped ensure that all parties [understood the migration’s goals and challenges](https://resources.github.com/artificial-intelligence/scaling-github-copilot-across-your-organization/). They also enacted comprehensive assessments by cataloging not just code but also integrations, workflows, and dependencies to pinpoint potential friction points.

Wayfair also took a phased approach: instead of attempting a risky "big bang" migration, they divided the migration into manageable stages, beginning with low-impact repositories to test the waters.

The takeaway? Preparation is essential. Build flexibility into your plan and prioritize momentum over perfection.

![wayfair-migration](//images.ctfassets.net/wfutmusr1t3h/43vQTTxX8hzL30Kq06FnsD/6857fa2bed584bfc52004d0d9ef0a4b8/wayfair-migration.png)

## 2. Overcome resistance with transparency and trust 🤝🏽
Change often meets resistance, not out of opposition to the goal but from fear of disruption.

Wayfair addressed this by creating robust fallback strategies, ensuring teams felt safe taking calculated risks. They also enacted data-driven transparency with a tracking system that provided visibility into migration progress, fostering trust.

To build confidence in the process, Wayfair celebrated early wins, like successful low-risk repository migrations.

For leaders looking to replicate Wayfair’s success, the lesson is clear: transparency and small, tangible victories can dissolve resistance and build momentum.

## 3. Prioritize the developer experience 🌎
The success of the migration hinged on [minimizing disruption](https://github.blog/news-insights/research/good-devex-increases-productivity/) for Wayfair’s developers.

To accomplish this, automated workflows were essential: the team scripted as much of the migration process as possible, transferring the burden from developers to platform teams. They also created migration guides with real-time updates to ensure that developers always had access to the latest processes and troubleshooting tips.

Importantly, they implemented an “easy button” philosophy where developers could seamlessly transition from one environment to the next with minimal friction, making the change almost invisible.

These efforts highlight the importance of [centering the user experience](https://github.blog/enterprise-software/collaboration/developer-experience-what-is-it-and-why-should-you-care/) in any transformation effort—ensuring teams can continue working effectively.
## 4. Focus on high-impact outcomes ⛰️
The migration moved repositories, but it also unlocked new capabilities and benefits.

The cost savings were significant: the migration saved $150,000 annually in hosting costs. By moving to GitHub Cloud, Wayfair also benefitted from GitHub Actions, GitHub Copilot, and advanced security features—tools that would have been costly or impossible to implement on-premises.

Additionally, the migration reallocated resources where teams were freed from managing the self-hosted system, and instead could focus on strategic initiatives like improving CI/CD systems and enhancing security.

These benefits helped Wayfair remain competitive in a fast-paced landscape and arm developers with the tools they needed to boost productivity and drive innovation. 
## 5. Iterate and fail forward ⏩
Wayfair’s phased approach allowed them to test, learn, and adapt at every stage. They embraced a “fail forward” mindset, fixing issues as they arose rather than delaying the migration. This iterative strategy ensured progress without getting bogged down in perfectionism and underscored the value of agility—progress over perfection can drive faster, more impactful outcomes.
