GitHub Copilot for Tietoevry Care's software developers
Tietoevry Care said R&D productivity rose more than 23% after its developers adopted GitHub Copilot
Problem
Tietoevry Care builds Lifecare, health and social care software used by more than 10 million Nordic citizens. Its developers spent days or weeks on tasks such as complex database queries and on localizing new features for several Nordic languages.
Approach
Developers at Tietoevry Care started using Microsoft's GitHub Copilot in October 2023. They used it for code generation, code optimization and localization. The localization work built local-language interfaces so new features could reach Sweden, Finland and Norway.
Results
Takeaway
The gains the company named came from specific, repeatable tasks such as database queries and localization. The company did not say how it measured R&D productivity or how many developers used the tool.
