A monthly feature, all about Enterprise.

August 2021

Welcome to the August edition of the Enterprise Examiner. It’s amazing how time flies! It’s been one year and five months of remote work, many of us have moved away from office-specific cities, COVID-19 has raged and relaxed over and over again. And still, we soldier on and continue to work as hard as we can to diligently deliver value to you, our customers.

🏢

With this month’s newsletter, we share some exciting product changes and updates, along with a treasure trove of resources built specifically to support our Enterprise customers. For the latest and greatest, read on to see what’s new from Atlassian in the August Enterprise Examiner.

Product News & Updates 

COMING SOON: LICENSE APPS FOR FREE IN SANDBOX

Today, Enterprise and Premium customers have to re-purchase their apps to test features/functionality in sandbox. We know that the ability to test product changes and apps in a sandbox is incredibly valuable to you and that cost efficiency is also important.Starting in October, all Cloud Premium and Cloud Enterprise customers will be able to license and test apps for free in the sandbox instance!

🎉

Allowing apps to be installed and tested for free in the sandbox environment gives you the freedom to prepare for changes within your test instances without the extra burden of an added cost for your many, many apps. Simply put - now, you will be able to purchase your apps once - testing all product and app changes in sandbox with ease.

Stay tuned to the Enterprise Community group for more updates!

EAP UPDATE: ADVANCED ROADMAP MIGRATION

The Advanced Roadmap migration early access program EAP that was originally planned to start later this year, has been pulled up to start in early September instead. This functionality will allow you to migrate Advanced Roadmap plans from Jira Server to Jira Cloud using the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant.

Additionally, it will help to migrate Advanced Roadmaps with saved structures and dependencies, which many of you have been eagerly anticipating! If you are interested in getting early access to this migration feature, please fill out this survey to participate.

New Resources

ACCESS PRODUCT DEMO VIDEOS ARE HERE

We’re thrilled to let you know we have Access product demo videos on YouTube and on Access Community as articles and in the videos tab. These are the same as our full-length videos on Product Demo - Access | Atlassian - but broken into snippets to highlight each features - as well as details on how to set it up. These demos should help you better understand what to do to prepare and set up Access.

NEW TO THE CLOUD MIGRATIONS CENTER

Cloud vs Data Center deployment comparison - This comparison outlines deployment differences across key focus areas including: pricing and billing, security and data management, compliance, and apps to help you make the best decision for your team.

Cloud Readiness Assessment - This is meant to help you understand when to start planning your migration and which cloud plan is best for you. This also provides tailored resources to help you take the next step in migrating to the cloud.

CHANGE MANAGEMENT IN CLOUD - IT DOES EXIST

You can discover exactly what we offer today in change management in cloud for JSW, JSM and Confluence. With our two new blogs - The Road to Effective Change Management in Cloud and 4 Ways to Manage Change Seamlessly in Atlassian Cloud - we outline how cloud admins manage change in cloud today using sandbox, release tracks and more.

MIGRATIONS DEMOS & BLOGS

We’ve gotten such great questions from our bi-weekly cloud migrations demo, that we split the Community Q&A wrap up into two sections: questions customers may have pre-migration (about our Cloud products and platform, the migration process, and migration trials) and during the migration (about tooling, user migration, product-specific migrations, and apps and integrations). The migration demo is a must-watch for anyone who is wondering what a migration entails or is in the midst of migration planning.

According to our TechValidate survey of 320+ Atlassian customers, here’s what your business size says about your cloud migration and what your industry says about your cloud migration.

Thanks for reading, and look out for new updates next month in the next Enterprise Examiner!
