Synechron Affirms Productivity Benefits of GitHub Copilot
Synechron, Inc., a leading global
digital transformation consulting firm focused on financial services and
technology organizations, has deployed GitHub Copilot, a premier and widely
adopted AI developer tool, for broad use by its developers in India.
Synechron has conducted multiple internal experiments across numerous
projects within its global Financial Innovation Laboratories (FinLabs) and
examined the impact of various Generative AI (GenAI) tools, including GitHub
Copilot, on developer productivity, versus traditional, non-AI enhanced
development processes. These broad initiatives resulted in productivity gains
of up to 40 percent when GitHub Copilot was used as part of the Software
Development Lifecycle (SDLC) – including code generation, code migration and
optimization, documentation, and test automation.
Synechron found that the use of GitHub Copilot reduced both the time and
effort required across the entire development lifecycle – from a developer’s
initial creative spark to code review and deployment. To measure the impact on
both productivity and developer happiness, Synechron conducted regular surveys
to gauge developers’ success against a presented project plan. Synechron also
found that the speed, efficiency, and productivity gains realized through leveraging
GitHub Copilot helped reduce stress among its developers. These proven effects
on productivity and developer happiness have led to Synechron’s accelerated use
of GitHub Copilot for a variety of program development initiatives.
Sandeep Kumar, Head of FinLabs, Synechron said,
“At Synechron, we are constantly seeking ways to improve and enhance the entire
software development lifecycle so that we can better serve our clients. Much to
our delight, the use of GitHub Copilot not only enhanced the
productivity of our experienced developers, but they reported less stress and a
heightened state of happiness.”
Sharryn
Napier, VP of APAC at GitHub, said, “We are
thrilled to enable Synechron with GitHub Copilot, empowering its developers to
be happier and more productive while accelerating overall innovation. Our own
research reveals that developers are writing code approximately 55 percent
faster with GitHub Copilot, and Synechron’s internal experiments affirm these
productivity gains. We are excited to go on this journey with Synechron as we
continue to transform the way organizations build software in the age of AI.”
