A topic we've been focused on lately is ‘Your Journey to the Atlassian Cloud’ so much so that back in July we hosted an event alongside Atlassian and AppFox on the theme Atlassian Cloud Migrations.

Preparing Jira for a Seamless Migration to Cloud

As many users of on-premise Jira already know, systems can become specialised, customised and are often difficult to untangle. While this can seem daunting at first, as Jack explained in his talk, it often doesn’t need to be.

Throughout the presentation Jack discussed the common challenges that users face during migrations and showed how leveraging tools, such as Optimizer for Jira, can make the migration much easier. Optimizer for Jira is an all-in-one administration tool, that...

‘makes administrations at scale intuitive and easy, and it enables you to prepare your system for a migration before-hand and understand what you’re migrating.’

He outlined some of the many benefits of Optimizer with a demo, but in case you missed it, check the features out below:

• Health check functionality which allows you to get a 10,000 ft view of your system and any sort of common problems that might be affected it.
• Advanced reports such as detailed insights which lets you understand how your systems growing over time.
• GraphQL Explorer
• Custom Field Optimization
• Log viewer
• Task Manager
• Bulk Actions
• User Management Capabilities

How important it is to plan before your migration, you ask?

Very... Increased planning can help guide you to deliver a seamless migration and products such as Optimizer for Jira can definitely help you with that along the way.
