A leading insurance provider has improved developer productivity by transitioning to secure, standardized, and automated development environments using Gitpod Enterprise. The company previously faced challenges with inefficient VDI setups on Windows machines, compatibility issues, and long lead times for special high-powered environments. By decoupling software development from desktop use cases and aligning development environments with production based on Linux, the insurance provider has enhanced developer experience while maintaining strict regulatory and compliance requirements. The adoption of Gitpod has also enabled platform teams to define development environments in declarative configuration and empowered developers with improved flexibility and control over tooling installation.
