Cloud migration resources roundup: May 2021

[#1]

Hello! Jacob here with all the latest cloud migration resources we’ve created in the past month. Here's April’s roundup, in case you missed it. 

Our team is committed to giving you the resources needed to help you wherever you’re at in your migration to Atlassian cloud. Below is the roundup of all the latest and greatest, as well as important resources we think all migrators should be aware of!

Some highlights to call out include toolkits containing assets that will aid you wherever you’re at in your migration journey. The Cloud Business Case toolkit is designed to get your organization on board by helping you communicate the value of Atlassian cloud, including understanding total cost of ownership and ROI and how Atlassian’s cloud products support business objectives. Then, once your organization decides to start your migration, use the Admin Migration toolkit to know how to get started and keep stakeholders informed of your cloud migration milestones.

Also, does your organization use Marketplace apps with your on-premise Atlassian products? Check out our "We’re making it easier to migrate your Marketplace apps” blog post to learn how we’re bringing automated app migration functionality to the Jira and Confluence Cloud Migration Assistants.

Happy migrating!

Jacob
