What's at stake for the modern enterprise?

Migrating to Jira Cloud isn’t just about embracing modern technology—it’s about avoiding a potential minefield in your existing workflow. Atlassian’s full support for Jira Server ends on February 15, 2024.

Limited Support

No more bug fixes or security patches: Leaving your system vulnerable to known and emerging threats.
Limited upgrade options: Making it difficult to keep pace with evolving business needs and industry standards.
Reduced Atlassian resources: Fewer resources dedicated to Server support, potentially impacting response times and resolution speeds.

Compliance Concerns

With stricter data privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA coming into play, your Server setup might not be enough to ensure compliance.

Scalability Bottlenecks

As your business grows, your Jira instance might struggle to keep up. Server systems often have limitations on user capacity and data storage, leading to performance bottlenecks and hindering team agility.

Innovation Gap

Cloud platforms are constantly evolving with new features, integrations, and automation. By staying on Server, you’re potentially missing out on these valuable advancements that can unlock new growth avenues for your business.

Increased scale and reliability

Optimized for performance, Jira Cloud delivers lightning-fast response times, even with large data volumes. No more user and productivity slowdowns.

Collaborate easily with your suppliers and vendors

Provide real-time access to suppliers and vendors with added ease. Cloud’s high availability and scalability keeps your teams and stakeholders in sync, wherever they are.

Keep teams happy and productive

Streamline workflows with a user-friendly interface. Enjoy instant access to the latest features and updates, without waiting for on-premise rollouts.

Cost-effective

Lower your total cost of ownership. Cloud cuts IT infrastructure expenses and eliminates licensing & upgrade fees. Focus your budget on growth, not maintenance.

Easily integrate 3rd-party applications

The Cloud platform opens doors to easier connections between Atlassian and a vast library of leading SaaS applications – leading to streamlined workflows and collaboration.

Key Considerations for System Migration

Zero downtime during migration

Your teams will be able to keep working without any halts in operations or productivity.

Agile approach to data migration

Control what you want to migrate, and when you want to migrate it. No surprises later and no unexpected rework.

High data fidelity post migration

Let your teams enjoy the same data they used in the legacy system, migrated to exactly where you want in the new one. No data inconsistency, no compliance fallouts.
