– Ryan Bryers, Senior Vice President – Engineering
"We are actively trying to move everything to Cloud, to empty our on-premise data rooms and data centres, and to embrace it fully."
The Challenge
Flooid has been a customer of Atlassian’s for several years and had an on-premise Server-based deployment of Jira Software and Confluence. However, with the End of Life announcement of the Server edition, and Atlassian heading a Cloud-first approach, the team decided to migrate to Atlassian Cloud as part of a Cloud strategy.
When accessing Jira and Confluence on Server, the team at Flooid required a VPN connection which was slow and frustrating as it made it difficult for them to permit third parties to the platforms.
The team at Flooid knew that this challenge could be overcome with the adoption of Atlassian Cloud. Before seeking assistance from Clearvision, they were working with an immature set of migration scripts that were known for not covering the breadth or scope of the migration project. This meant that bespoke scripting was required, adding to the complexity and completion time of the project.
Clearvision Solution
Flooid already had an established working relationship with Clearvision, and previous successful projects created a level of trust that instilled confidence in the Flooid team who required expertise in a specific capability — migrating from on-premise Atlassian Server applications to Atlassian Cloud.
The prerequisite risk assessment phase was critical to identifying the full scope of the migration and the technical activities required for a successful migration. As Atlassian Cloud is a SaaS solution, the VPN was no longer required.
A Clearvision consultant created bespoke scripting for the team at Flooid to resolve the areas that the immature set of scripts were not suitable for.
The team at Flooid plan to take and apply what they’ve learned from this migration project as they adapt to Atlassian Cloud and intend to seek the expertise of Clearvision consultants when breaking new ground with Atlassian solutions, such as Jira Service Management.
