General Motors Financial Company, Inc. is a financial services arm of General Motors. The company is a global provider of auto finance, with operations in the United States, Canada, Europe, China and Latin America. The company is headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas.
Founded in 1992 as AmeriCredit Corp., the company was acquired by GM in October 2010 and renamed General Motors Financial Company, Inc. The company provides retail loan and lease programs through auto dealers for customers across the credit spectrum. They also offer commercial lending products, such as retail floorplan, construction and real estate loans, or insurance for car dealerships.
Before its acquisition by GM, the company ranked at 768 on the Fortune 1000.
In July 2010, General Motors entered into a definitive agreement to acquire AmeriCredit in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $3.5 billion. The deal provided GM with a new financial arm to replace the loss of GMAC in 2006. Following the approval of the deal by AmeriCredit shareholders, GM renamed the company "GM Financial" on Oct. 1, 2010.
Continuous delivery (CD) is a software engineering approach in which teams produce software in short cycles, ensuring that the software can be reliably released at any time. It aims at building, testing, and releasing software faster and more frequently. The approach helps reduce the cost, time, and risk of delivering changes by allowing for more incremental updates to applications in production. A straightforward and repeatable deployment process is important for continuous delivery.
Continuous Delivery and DevOps are similar in their meanings and are often conflated, but they are two different concepts. DevOps has a broader scope, and centers around the cultural change, specifically the collaboration of the various teams involved in software delivery (developers, operations, quality assurance, management, etc.), as well as automating the processes in software delivery. Continuous Delivery, on the other hand, is an approach to automate the delivery aspect, and focuses on bringing together different processes and executing them more quickly and more frequently. Thus, DevOps can be a product of Continuous Delivery, and CD flows directly into DevOps.

As the growing financial arm of General Motors, GM Financial realized that its software delivery lifecycle was inadequate to meet the needs of its 400+ business lines. With manual release processes, a sprawling server footprint and marathon deployment windows, the division was encountering too many errors, compliance risks, rampant configuration creep and over dependence on tribal knowledge. The company was at a crossroads—on an unsustainable path that involved throwing more resources at bad processes. That’s when the company began its transformation, leveraging CA Continuous Delivery solutions to automate, standardize and align processes and teams from development to production.
