Migrations Month is back!

[#1]

Summer is just around the corner! With the weather easing up, we’re all beginning to a little feel refreshed while looking forward to summer travel and time outside with family and friends.

While you gear up for your journeys to the beach, or to the cloud, we’re here to help you plan your trip this Migrations Month with a jam-packed May full of new migration resources and travel-themed swag giveaways! The silver lining of being able to plan travel while still meeting deadlines has not been lost on me.

This May, the Atlassian Community is celebrating Migrations Month to help those who haven’t yet made the leap to the cloud. Join us for our cloud learning events, additional migration resources, swag giveaways, and more as we help global teams join the future of teamwork.

Why is May Migrations Month?

As you’ve likely heard, Atlassian will be ending support for Server in February 2024 (9 short months from now!). For those still unsure about the transition, it should be mentioned that your cloud migration can take 9+ months to strategize and execute – meaning May is the time to begin planning. Our team is dedicated to helping your company achieve a successful migration. All month long, we’ll be sharing new cloud migration resources in the community to help you plan your journey!

By taking the trip, you’ll understand why global enterprises like Dish Wireless, Redfin, Nextiva, as well as many others, have all made the move to Atlassian Cloud. Read on for the new resources coming out this month!

Virtual Events

The Atlassian Community has three great upcoming events for the cloud-curious. Learn from the experts and customers who’ve already made the leap to get the inside scoop on how to strategize for a smooth transition.

• Forrester Webinar: Boost data protection with cloud shared responsibility – View our on-demand webinar to learn more about new shared responsibility approaches that can help support your cloud migration journey.

I don’t know about you but if I spent a whole month working remotely at any location, I would be in Amsterdam or Paris. Lots of exciting things to explore and can easily travel to other European countries/cities. Where would you go?

Don’t forget to chime in and learn from others in our Community discussion. Your input means the world to us!

This is awesome!  Looking forward to everything coming up this month!

[Ken McClean]

Shame about the US-only shipping for swag, but I'm still looking foward to the discussions

[Tom Whittle]

I would definitely go for Amsterdam for a workcation. Amazing travel around the city and the bonus that we have an office there to see some of the team.

[Dave Mathijs]

Very exciting, got my head in the Cloud.

The Forrestor Report was quite insightful; one aspect to this was the Zero Trust initiative that it covers. ZT covers my approach to how I set up and config my Atlassian instances as much as possible. 

[Alexander Pappert]

Migration is still on my to do list.

Let's see if I need the 9 months for planning and migration ;)
