Join us for a Summer of Customer Love!
All summer long, migrated customers share their stories why they made the move to Atlassian Cloud
It’s no secret here at Atlassian that we love Cloud, and the good news is, our customers do, too! We’re always excited to hear from our on-premise customers how much they’re enjoying the move to Atlassian Cloud. So this year, for the first time ever, we’re sharing brand new customer stories all summer long (well, summer for all you Northern Hemisphere-ians 😜).
Our customers have seen such amazing results with their migration to Cloud that they wanted to share their stories with you—so read their stories and learn why they chose to make the move, how they executed a successful migration, and how their businesses have improved now that their admins and users work more productively on Cloud.
Each week, across Community, email, and our social channels, we’ll share new customer case studies, stats, quotes, and even video testimonials. So hit that “Watch” button at the bottom of the page (next to “Comment”) and keep checking back to this post every week for updates on the latest and greatest customer migration stories. And if you’ve already made the switch to Cloud, leave a comment below and let us know what you love and what others will, too!

This week, let's talk about Jira Service Management. After using on-premise deployments of Atlassian products for years, Ginkgo Bioworks was craving more storage, speed, and scalability to keep up with their growing business needs. Dave Treff, head of Digital Operations, explained the need to move to Jira Service Management Cloud:
By moving to the cloud and converging around Atlassian products for service management, we can scale non-linearly, have the metrics to support making the investments we need, and drive profitability.
Ginkgo Bioworks has offloaded maintenance, enhanced data accuracy and visibility to make ever-smarter decisions, and discovered new features that are helping the company more than triple output and halve costs each year.

Lucid Software’s key takeaways:
-
25% of site reliability engineering (SRE) time saved by migrating to the Cloud
-
Smoother Jira Software interface and Advanced Roadmaps help Lucid adapt to new priorities on-the-fly
David Torgerson, VP of Infrastructure and IT states, “The value that our company provides is by making features, making our product more stable, and innovating. Any amount of time that we spend maintaining internal tools is an opportunity cost lost.”

Nationwide Building Society (NBS) shares their 6 pillars for a successful cloud migration. Learn how their admins engaged with their 8,000 users early in the process to ensure that the delivery of cloud was something that happened with them rather than to them.
“The champions network is made up of people already utilizing the tools. They’re already advocates and following best practices. …. They weren’t afraid of the change coming because they were already part of it.” - Caterina Notarbartolo, Senior Methods and Tools Architect
For National Building Society, migrating 500 projects and 300 spaces to cloud was a tall order, but by including their users in the process from day one, they were able to ease common concerns and carry the momentum of positive change into their every day work and through the wider organization.
