Move from Azure DevOps, Bitbucket, GitLab or hybrid environments through a phased and validated migration approach. Consolidate development, automation and security on one governed GitHub platform to reduce operational complexity, standardise delivery and simplify collaboration across teams.
✓ Minimal disruption ✓ Secure ✓ Technically validated
What you get with the GitHub Migration Accelerator:
Many organisations want to move repositories and development workflows to GitHub but are unsure how to approach the migration. Unclear migration paths, limited internal expertise and concerns around security and governance often slow progress and increase the risk of disruption.
The GitHub Migration Accelerator establishes a secure GitHub foundation before repositories, workflows and CI/CD pipelines are migrated in controlled phases. Each stage is technically validated, giving your teams a production-ready environment without forcing a big-bang migration.
Where a full migration is not required, backlog management can remain in Azure DevOps Boards while repositories and other development workflows move to GitHub.
Move from Azure DevOps, Bitbucket, GitLab or hybrid environments through a phased and validated migration approach. With hands-on support, the transition remains predictable, with minimal disruption and no rework. Repositories and CI/CD pipelines are migrated and technically validated within GitHub.
Start with a production-capable GitHub platform configured with SSO, role-based access control (RBAC), repository standards, branch protection and governance controls that support secure and consistent development.
Introduce GitHub Advanced Security capabilities such as code scanning, secret scanning and dependency alerts, bringing security into everyday development from the start.
Delivered as a full multi-module engagement, this structured three-phase execution model ensures alignment, predictable delivery, and a clear handover:
Discover & PlanThe current development environment, existing platforms, workflows and DevSecOps maturity are assessed to define the migration approach. This includes identifying workloads in scope, defining success criteria, selecting pilot teams, and aligning on governance and platform requirements.
Implement & MigrateDuring this phase, the GitHub platform foundation is configured, DevSecOps capabilities are implemented, and repositories and CI/CD pipelines are migrated in controlled phases. By migrating incrementally, we ensure a controlled rollout and validation at each step.
Validate & HandoverThe final phase validates the implemented platform and migrated workloads against the agreed success criteria. This includes technical validation to confirm that repositories and pipelines function within GitHub. Documentation is delivered, knowledge transfer sessions are conducted, and the GitHub platform is formally handed over.
GitHub is introduced through a defined, modular approach, aligned to your current platform, development workflows and migration goals.
Repositories and CI/CD pipelines are migrated incrementally, reducing disruption while validating each migration step.
A fully configured GitHub Enterprise environment established with SSO, repository standards, policy enforcement and governance controls before migration begins.
GitHub Advanced Security introduces code scanning, secret scanning and dependency alerts as part of your development lifecycle.
Adopt consistent repository structures, pull request workflows and GitHub Actions using proven implementation patterns.
Documentation, workshops and hands-on guidance prepare your teams to manage and evolve the GitHub platform independently.
The ‘Ask the Expert’ session on GitHub Copilot not only provided us with insights, but also gave us direction. It clearly demonstrated how AI accelerates our development processes and can systematically improve the quality of our software.
"Intercept quickly provided an Azure platform that internal and external developers can work on securely. For the first time, we felt confident giving an external party access to our internal systems. We were able to place our complete trust in Intercept."

“If you have a knowledge gap, you need a partner you can trust. One that isn't primarily there to bill hours but to share knowledge. One that would rather deliver a good product than spend another 16 years developing it with you. At Intercept, we found that partner.”
Read here how we automated Azure environmentsIntercept helps software organisations adopt GitHub securely and successfully, from full migrations and phased transitions to hybrid environments. Our phased and technically validated approach reduces risk, limits disruption and gives your teams control throughout the migration.
As one of the first partners in the Netherlands to hold the Microsoft Specialization: Agentic DevOps with Microsoft Azure and GitHub, our expertise is recognised by Microsoft.
This means you work with a partner that combines practical experience with proven expertise.
