GitLab proof of concept
Your fastest way to a fully compliant PoC of GitLab
Quickly test GitLab with your own projects
Before switching to GitLab, you want to test it on real projects. With a Proof of Concept (PoC), you can start small and validate the tool before cranking up your deployment across your company. Full deployment can be a significant undertaking, especially if compliance and security concerns keep you from going to the public cloud.
Expert help throughout
Our experts have helped countless customers in Europe and the US with their software development tools through our managed services. We will set up the PoC to meet your specific needs. You'll get:
A GitLab environment that's ready to go
Answers to all your questions and dedicated support
Help finding the right way forward, with options for consultancy and assessments.
GitLab award
We won GitLab's 2026 Partner of the Year award for Northern Europe for our expertise in helping organizations accelerate software delivery, security, and DevSecOps adoption.

Production-grade PoC
Your PoC is provided through our managed services. Our experts handle hosting, service management, compliance, licensing, and end-user support. Everything you need to rapidly make a confident decision around GitLab and your next steps.
Your own environment
Because we are experts in automation, we can quickly set up your environment and make the small configurations that deliver the answers you need. And it doesn’t matter what GitLab features you want to explore, or which GitLab software those require - we can include them all.
Deliver your software through GitLab
The best way to run a GitLab pilot is to use it for some of your software development projects. We’ll just import your source code, your Infrastructure as Code definitions, your test cases, and deliver your next release from GitLab. It’s that simple!
Get ready for scaling up
Eventually, your PoC tells you whether GitLab is a good fit for you. When the time comes, our experts in CI/CD pipelines, test automation, Infrastructure as Code, cloud applications, and DevOps and Agile practices are ready to step in to help you adopt GitLab in your company.
