Several thousand developers actively use GitHub Copilot every day

Reported impact

Business outcome

HP reports marked gains in developer productivity and cross-team collaboration, with Copilot helping engineers focus on higher-value product work and move software improvements to market faster.

  • Productivity Improvement
  • Speed to Market

Solution

HP rolled out GitHub Copilot Business across an enterprise software toolchain built around GitHub Enterprise, Azure DevOps, Visual Studio, supported IDEs, and CLI workflows. Developers use Copilot for inline code suggestions, chat-based answers to coding questions, code review acceleration, and modernization of older code, while the existing GitHub and Azure DevOps stack keeps collaboration, governance, and release practices in the same workflow. Rather than treating AI as a separate experiment, HP embedded Copilot directly into day-to-day engineering work so thousands of developers could write, review, and update software faster without getting stuck on scaffolding or syntax. The result is a more connected developer community and a reusable AI-assisted development pattern across HP’s hardware, software, and services ecosystem.

Data flow

Developers prompt and code inside their IDEs and CLIs, GitHub Copilot Business returns inline suggestions and chat answers in context, and the resulting code continues through GitHub Enterprise and Azure DevOps for collaboration, review, and delivery.

Solution architecture

4 components · 2 layers
  1. Serving
    • GitHub Copilot Business Provides AI code suggestions and chat-based assistance inside supported developer workflows.
    • Visual Studio Acts as one of the development surfaces where Copilot assistance is consumed.
  2. Orchestration
    • GitHub Enterprise Supplies the collaborative source-control and governance environment around HP’s engineering work.
    • Azure DevOps Supports enterprise development workflows, delivery practices, and adjacent toolchain integration.

Architecture clues

  • Copilot is used for inline code suggestions and coding Q&A inside IDEs and CLIs
  • HP uses Copilot alongside GitHub Enterprise and Azure DevOps rather than as a standalone tool
  • Older code assessment and updates are part of the workflow

Evidence from the source

HP incorporated GitHub Copilot into its workflow, and developers quickly found that they code faster and solve issues more quickly without getting bogged down in tedious code scaffolding and syntax.
Scheessele says HP currently has several thousand developers actively using GitHub Copilot every day.
Using GitHub Copilot, they could easily assess and update older code and more rapidly problem-solve for new projects.

Scoring methodology

How scores are calculated

Customer Reference Value measures usefulness as a customer reference. Evidence Confidence measures the quality and traceability of available evidence, not independent verification.

  • Implementation depth25/25
    Rewards named components, data flow, integrations, and architecture detail.
  • Outcome specificity20/20
    Measures whether the reported benefit is concrete rather than a generic claim.
  • Quantified impact0/25
    0 metrics describe measurable impact.
  • Deployment scale10/10
