Inetum and GitHub join forces to accelerate AI-driven software development in Belgium
Release date: Thu, 11/13/2025
Inetum is launching a strategic collaboration in Belgium with GitHub, the leading platform for agentic software development. The goal: help engineering teams ship software faster, more securely, and with less friction-using Copilot, integrated security, and a developer-first workflow. The partnership spans implementation, licensing, and consulting across the full SDLC.
AI and security in one platform
GitHub becomes the central system of record-from idea to secure delivery. Inetum supports organizations step by step, including migrations from Azure DevOps, plus training, coaching, and strategic guidance so teams get value quickly.
- GitHub Copilot: offloads repetitive coding and scaffolding so developers focus on high-impact work. Learn more
- GitHub Advanced Security: monitors code quality and flags risks like vulnerabilities, exposed secrets, and risky dependencies.
- GitHub Packages and Pages: central package management and accessible internal docs to keep knowledge close to the code.
The result is a single workspace where collaboration, AI assistance, and product security live side by side-fewer context switches, tighter feedback loops, and cleaner releases.
Why this matters now
Over 180 million developers use GitHub, and more than 77,000 organizations have adopted Copilot. Many teams are moving from traditional DevOps to environments where AI and security are default settings, not bolt-ons. That shift is a priority across Belgian enterprises, as highlighted by the recent Beltug Priorities Compass.
What the partnership delivers
- Implementation and migration: structured moves from tools like Azure DevOps to GitHub, with minimal downtime and clear cutover plans.
- Licensing and governance: right-sizing licenses, setting policies, and aligning workflows with compliance needs.
- Enablement: training, coaching, and programs such as the Quick Start Copilot Package to accelerate adoption.
- DevSecOps maturity: practical guardrails, secure defaults, and measurable improvements across the SDLC.
Local partnership, global standards
GitHub selected Inetum for its DevSecOps track record, Belgian footprint, and focus on AI-native development. Connor Douglass, Director Microsoft & Partner Solution Sales, Global Corporate at GitHub, notes that Inetum's combined approach to licensing and consulting helps organizations modernize with attention to productivity, security, and quality.
For Inetum, this strengthens its DevSecOps offering and its position as a Microsoft Cloud AI Partner. For GitHub, it provides a local implementation and advisory partner to help Belgian organizations move to AI-native software development with confidence.
From pilot to production
Inetum supports the full journey: team upskilling, governance models, and phased migrations-so pilots don't stall and production doesn't drift. Jouri Goos, Head of Consulting at Inetum, emphasizes that the aim is more than switching tools-it's enabling teams to get the most from the full GitHub suite and build secure, scalable, AI-driven solutions end to end.
