Cloud migration resources roundup: June 2021

[#1]

Hi there! Jacob here—back with all the latest cloud migration resources we launched in the past month. And for those who missed May’s roundup, take a look. 

We know migrating to the cloud takes some work, so we’ve worked hard this month to provide even more great resources to help you on your journey. Luckily, our customers told us that 40 percent of them who move to the cloud say their migration was easier than expected. One reason is that our team is constantly working to provide tools and resources that help you navigate the process.

If I could only highlight one thing this month, it would be the exciting launch of the Forrester TEI (Total Economic Impact) report! Forrester Consulting conducted an analysis on the ROI customers receive by migrating to cloud, and they found customers receive an estimated 155% ROI and total benefits/savings of $1.8M over three years!

Check out the report and the rest of our newest resources below, as well as our tried and true that migrators love. And let us know in the comments any other resources you'd like to see during your journey to migrate to Atlassian cloud.

Happy migrating!

Jacob
