When a networking technology company with 12,000-employees needed to consolidate 7 separate Atlassian instances into a single Enterprise Cloud instance, it turned to Trundl.
The Challenge:
-
The Company had a large investment in Jira for company-wide collaboration. 7,000 of their 12,000 employees were using the Atlassian stack, representing over $1M in annual spend. The 7 Atlassian instances were spread across different hosting models (Server, Cloud Premium). This presented a few problems. 1) Licensing spend and user allocation were inefficient. 2) The Procurement overhead was high, with the need to be aware of 7 different renewal schedules, as well as the handling of cost centers and budget allocation 3) The Server instance was outdated and unsupported (Atlassian EOL’ed Server licenses in February 15, 2024.
-
The Company reached out to Trundl, a Platinum Atlassian Solution Partner, to upgrade, consolidate, and migrate all Atlassian tools to Atlassian Enterprise Cloud. With this move, the Company would gain an option to scale with unlimited instances for organizational autonomy, to keep data segregation, and to allocate single user licenses on multiple Jira instances.
-
Between the instances, there were 300+ Jira projects requiring substantial data conversion requirements, so preparation was paramount.
The Solution:
-
Trundl planned a 6-month migration with an Agile approach. As with all migrations, Trundl identified the prioritized instances and conducted requirement gathering along side the Company’s lead stakeholders, users, and user groups.
-
Trundl employed a JCMA method for the on-premise to Cloud migration
