Upgrading From BitBucket To GitHub Enterprise Cloud.

Global technology research and advisory firm, a longtime BitBucket customer, was ready to upgrade its DevOps toolchain, beginning with a migration to GitHub Enterprise Cloud. With over 11,000 repositories and multiple companywide initiatives underway, they needed expert support to ensure a smooth transition. InfoMagnus accelerated the large-scale migration and developed a strategic plan to align with the clients needs.

A Phased Approach: Ensuring a Smooth and Scalable Migration.

‌

In collaboration with the their team, a phased migration strategy was selected to accelerate and drive adoption success.

‌

Phasing a large migration like this allowed not only smaller migration waves and less impact to teams, but it also broke down the project budget and timeline. Phase 1 — nearly 2,500 repositories — started in late November and was selected using a central business unit to demonstrate the migration strategy to other teams and to allocate focused effort in defining the remaining phases.

‌

Planning Ahead: Scaling Migration and Expanding GitHub Adoption.

‌

At the end of Phase 1, InfoMagnus will present the client with a formal plan and cost estimate for migrating the remaining 9,000 repositories. The plan will include detailed timelines for each organization, ensuring a structured approach that minimizes disruption and streamlines execution.

‌

The global technology research and advisory firm has also shown interest in adopting GitHub Copilot and GitHub Actions to replace Jenkins CI/CD pipelines. As the engagement continues, InfoMagnus will provide strategic recommendations and develop implementation plans to help the client achieve its broader objectives.
