📚 Article of the week

Atlassian Q1 FY23 letter to shareholders

The letter covers not only highlights of what Atlassian achieved in the last quarter like the new Atlassian Together subscription offering targeting the work management market, a new large-scale event but also shared a feature of Atlassian Analytics that transitioned to open beta and the general availability launch is planned for later this fiscal year.

There were also notes on the current economic situation in the world and its effects on Atlassian. Atlassian is seeing a slower rate of free instances being converted to paid plans but also started seeing a slower rate in paid seats from existing customers as companies slowed their pace of hiring.

Despite that Atlassian added 6,550 new customers this quarter, bringing our total to 249,173.

And the subscription revenue grew by 50% year-over-year.

Atlassian is also still hiring and added 989 net new Atlassians and believes that hiring in the current economic situation is to their advantage.
