GitHub

Microsoft subsidiary code management innovator uses Boomi in mission-critical processes to align with its parent and streamline finance, sales, and HR as revenue soars nearly 10X

Business goals

Founded in 2008, GitHub has grown into the leading platform for developers to build, secure, and scale code. More than 150 million developers and 4 million organizations rely on GitHub. Since Microsoft acquired the company in 2018 for $7.5 billion, revenue has grown nearly 10X to $2 billion annually. The launch of Copilot accelerated growth and increased the need for timely, accurate financial data exchange with Microsoft, powered by Boomi.

Integration Challenges

GitHub adopted Boomi in 2014 to integrate Salesforce with its ERP, avoiding costly custom code. After Microsoft’s acquisition, Boomi expanded to align systems between parent and subsidiary with accurate, real-time data. With only three developers managing financial integrations, GitHub relies on Boomi’s ease of use to onboard talent quickly. As transaction volumes surged, GitHub migrated from Boomi’s cloud to a self-hosted Azure environment without disruption, scaling seamlessly.

How Boomi Helped

Boomi powers nearly 30 integrations across GitHub. It routes 50,000 daily invoices from Zuora to Microsoft’s SAP S/4HANA ERP, automating revenue recognition and eliminating manual finance work. Boomi syncs billing data to Salesforce, giving sales teams visibility into customer usage and enabling cross-sell and upsell opportunities. It also connects Expensify, Workday, and iCIMS to Azure systems, streamlining expense management, HR analytics, hiring, and onboarding.

Results

With Boomi, GitHub delivers integrations three times faster than alternative approaches, accelerating app connectivity across the business. Integrated data improves efficiency across finance, sales, and HR while supporting 10X revenue growth. Boomi maintains a single source of truth, powers analytics, and enables fast, accurate financial closings. Its reliability and speed make it GitHub’s first choice for launching new integration projects.
