Migrating to Atlassian Cloud? Here’s What Mid-Sized Tech Companies Need to Know

As today’s tech companies scale, staying agile, secure, and collaborative is no longer optional—it’s critical. That’s why thousands of organizations are shifting their operations to Atlassian Cloud. But if you're a mid-sized tech company, the path to successful Atlassian cloud migration isn’t always straightforward.

At Jer‑nee Consulting, we specialize in guiding businesses through this transformation, ensuring your tools, teams, and data make a seamless move—without disrupting productivity.

Why Atlassian Cloud Migration Is a Smart Move

The cloud offers more than just storage—it delivers scalability, security, and built-in innovation. With Atlassian’s Cloud products, your teams benefit from:

• Faster performance and uptime

• Automatic updates and security patches

• Native AI-powered features

• Centralized management across Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket

But while the benefits are clear, the migration process requires careful planning, especially for organizations with growing tech stacks and diverse workflows.

Common Migration Pitfalls for Mid-Sized Tech Companies

Many mid-sized businesses attempt a DIY cloud migration, only to hit unexpected roadblocks. Here’s what often goes wrong:

Compatibility Issues

Certain apps or custom workflows may not work the same—or at all—in the cloud version of Jira or Confluence.

Data Security and Compliance Gaps

Companies in regulated industries (MedTech, aerospace, finance) must ensure data sovereignty and user access controls are maintained during the transition.

Lack of a Cloud Migration Strategy

Without a roadmap, migrations often lead to downtime, confused teams, and lost productivity.

What About Security & Compliance?

Atlassian Cloud offers enterprise-grade security (SOC2, GDPR, ISO 27001). But ensuring a compliant migration also depends on your configurations. We:

• Align permissions with your IT governance

• Integrate with SSO/identity tools

• Validate audit trails and logging

For regulated industries like MedTech, CleanTech, or defense, our consultants ensure you stay compliant during and after migration.
