Atlassian Cloud Migrations

The decision that shapes the future of work

Atlassian Cloud migration determines whether Jira and Confluence reduce friction or add it. The difference comes down to how you plan, sequence, and support the move so teams can keep delivering while adoption builds.

Many teams choose a lift-and-shift path to hit deadlines and control risk. That only works when it is paired with a clear plan for what happens after cutover, including workflow readiness, governance, and enablement that keep delivery moving.

A well-run migration simplifies environments, clarifies ownership, and creates the conditions for consistent adoption. Outcomes improve when governance, workflows, and enablement are designed alongside the technical move, then reinforced after go-live.

Migration success stories

Three examples of what changes when migration is treated as a program: faster cutovers, proven performance at enterprise scale, and governance that sustains adoption.

Micron

Rapid cloud migration in a complex enterprise environment

Micron partnered with Cprime and Atlassian’s FastShift program to migrate 60,000+ existing and past users and 26 terabytes of data from Data Center to Atlassian Cloud. The program used phased cutovers, extensive testing and dry runs, add-on remediation, and BYOK encryption to protect security and continuity. The result included under eight hours of total downtime, a 99.9% uptime guarantee, and up to 40% measurable performance improvement.

The largest Atlassian cloud migration in history 

PayPal partnered with Cprime to complete the largest Atlassian Cloud migration in history, improving developer experience, scalability, and operational efficiency for more than 35,000 active users. The migration moved Jira and Confluence at extreme scale, including more than 3,000 Jira projects and close to 3.5 million issues, plus more than 13,000 Confluence spaces and over 14 million pages migrated in one weekend. The program also included approximately 1,200 scripted transformation items to preserve mission-critical workflows.

Global technology company

Enterprise transformation with governance and AI readiness 

A global enterprise reduced fragmentation and restored enterprise visibility by treating cloud migration as a phased program built for adoption and continuity. The organization consolidated seven Jira environments into three optimized instances, retained separate Confluence instances for internal and external collaboration, and brought IT service management into Jira Service Management to align support with delivery. Shutting down on-premises data centers reduced tool-related overhead by 40% while improving decision flow and readiness to adopt AI capabilities inside Atlassian with confidence.

Why Cprime?

Cprime is Atlassian’s Cloud Transformation Partner of the Year and an Atlassian Platinum Solution Partner with more than 12 years of experience guiding enterprise Atlassian programs. We bring the technical delivery, operating model discipline, and enablement needed to protect continuity while teams adopt new ways of working in cloud.

We support multiple migration approaches based on your reality: 

  • Complex environments with deep customization, integrations, and add-on dependencies 
  • Low-disruption cutovers designed to protect continuity and delivery velocity 
  • Phased programs that align timing to delivery commitments and readiness 
  • Governance built in early, including controls, standards, and cost ownership 
  • Enablement that helps teams adopt cloud ways of working, not just move instances 

Our approach ties migration decisions to governance, workflow design, and adoption milestones so cloud supports clearer decision flow, more consistent execution, and improvement that continues after go-live.
