Linking to preferred Atlassian organization

Question

I work for a company that has an Atlassian org. But they have put restrictions on the Atlassian products that are not good for how we do work in our division.

We want our own Atlassian instance. But Atlassian has informed us that if our email is a corporate email there is not possibility. We will always be tied to the company's instance (which is not beneficial to how we do work and th eIT department will not change the rules).

If we wait until the 15th and don't do anything with our Bitbucket account, will we get our own preferred Atlassian organization? We already pay for bitbucket on our own. It's not paid for through the company Atlassian account.

We want our own instance of Jira Confluence and Bitbucket.

Thanks

We do not use Google to manage our domains. BTWs

This is interesting information. Atlassian sales said that we can not have a separate instance of Atlassian Products from our parent corporation as long as we are using the same email domain.

Background: our parent company has Atlassian admin rights presently. They have set it up primarily as a ticketing tool. They can't open it up to make changes to be more Scrum/Agile/Engineering "friendly."

Additionally, we need more seats and they are not allowed to buy more seats.

So we want to pay out of our division's budget to have our own instance of Atlassian cloud products.

Sales told me that they can't give us our own instance as long as the responsible email has the same domain.

Now with this new "preferred Atlassian Organization" change I'm afraid that we will loose control of our BitBucket account as well. But it is very unclear.

Thoughts?

I'm not sure if I understand the problem correctly, but it is totally possible to have multiple organization with the same email domain.

We use Google to manage our email domain, and currently we have ~10 different organizations, some for development, some for staging, some for automatic testing (CI).

Have you actually tried to create a second organization?
