Cloud Migration
Seamlessly Migrate to Cloud While Preserving Data, Customizations & Productivity
With Atlassian's Data Center end-of-support decision, organizations face critical decisions about their platform's future. Padah's migration expertise ensures your transition—whether to Cloud, between environments, or consolidating instances—preserves your data integrity, customizations, and team productivity while unlocking powerful new capabilities including AI, enhanced security, and continuous innovation.
As an Atlassian Platinum Solution Partner with deep migration expertise, we've successfully completed numerous complex migrations across industries—delivering minimal downtime, zero data loss, and full workflow preservation.
The Migration Imperative
Organizations running Atlassian Server or legacy Data Center configurations face mounting pressures that make migration not just advisable, but essential:
End of Server/DC Support
No security patches, bug fixes, or compliance updates for Server deployments. Data Center support ending, leaving systems vulnerable and non-compliant.
Scaling Limitations
On-premise infrastructure struggling to meet growing team and data demands. Performance degradation as usage scales without enterprise-grade infrastructure.
Operational Burden
IT teams spending valuable time on maintenance, patching, and upgrades instead of innovation and strategic initiatives.
Feature Gaps
Missing out on AI capabilities (Rovo, Atlassian Intelligence), enhanced collaboration features, and continuous improvements only available on Cloud.
Compliance Requirements
Evolving regulatory demands requiring modern security frameworks, data residency controls, and audit capabilities that legacy systems cannot provide.
Rising TCO
Infrastructure costs, specialized staff requirements, and maintenance overhead making self-hosted solutions increasingly expensive compared to cloud alternatives.
Why Migrations Fail Without Expert Guidance
Atlassian migrations are complex undertakings. Organizations that attempt migrations without specialized expertise commonly encounter these critical pitfalls:
- Data Loss or Corruption: Improper extraction, transformation, or loading processes resulting in lost project history, attachments, or corrupted work items
- Broken Integrations: Third-party apps and custom scripts that stop working because cloud equivalents weren't identified or properly configured
- Extended Downtime: Poor planning causing productivity losses, stakeholder frustration, and business disruption during critical periods
- Permission & Access Issues: Teams locked out of projects or sensitive data exposed due to improperly migrated permission schemes
- Lost Customizations: Workflows, automations, and configurations that teams depend on not preserved in the new environment
Migration Paths We Support
Padah delivers end-to-end migrations across every Atlassian transition scenario:
Server → Cloud
Complete migration to Atlassian's cloud platform. Ideal for organizations seeking reduced operational overhead, automatic updates, and access to the latest features including AI capabilities.
Data Center → Cloud
Transition from self-managed Data Center to cloud. Perfect for customers ready to eliminate infrastructure management while maintaining enterprise-grade features and security controls.
Cloud → Cloud
Instance consolidation, site merges, or tenant restructuring. Optimize your cloud footprint by combining multiple instances into a unified environment with consistent governance.
Consolidation & M&A
M&A integrations requiring unified Atlassian environments. Merge acquired company tooling while preserving critical project history, workflows, and team productivity.
