Migrating to Atlassian Cloud is the way of the future! With increased investment in Cloud products, now is the perfect time to move from on-premise server installations to Atlassian Cloud. But between migrating existing products and third-party apps, choosing additional or replacement tools, and keeping end users informed, there’s a lot to manage.
Seibert Solutions is here to make your transition seamless! As a certified Atlassian Solution Partner, we specialize in helping businesses navigate the complexities of cloud migration. From planning the process to supplementing your in-house technical expertise and ensuring a smooth knowledge transfer, we ensure your migration is executed precisely and efficiently.
Challenge #1: Designing an effective migration plan
There are different approaches to migrating to the Cloud. Choosing the wrong method could cause problems down the road. Therefore, it’s essential to consider your business needs and decide whether to modernize or rewrite native cloud processes to reduce post-migration operating costs. You must also consider network topology, storage configuration, and security policies.
But before you begin planning your cloud migration strategy, understand your IT processes and goals. Here are some questions you should ask yourself during this phase:
- What do you want to achieve? Are there any specific KPIs that you’re aiming for?
- What kind of applications are you migrating?
- How much time do you have to complete the project? Do you have enough resources available? How much downtime can you afford?
- What kind of data do you have? How much of it is sensitive? Does it entail any regulatory compliance?
Seibert Solutions provides expert guidance from the very beginning. By engaging with us early, we can help you establish a clear migration objective and develop a strategy tailored to your organization’s unique needs.

Challenge #3: Assessing your third-party apps
Most likely, your current solution features third-party apps that you need to assess for migration. Time and time again, these apps represent an enormous pain point for organizations that don’t have the expertise to assess whether they still need these apps or if there are equivalent Atlassian Cloud tools. Plus, determining how to migrate third-party apps means assessing compatibility requirements and anticipating conflicts that an inexperienced party may be unable to see.
How Seibert can help:
Thanks to substantial training and previous experience, Atlassian Solution Partners are best equipped to understand your current apps, integrations, and customizations. We will find it for you if we don’t already know of an equivalent (or better) post-migration substitution. Plus, we can tell you which native Atlassian features in cloud can replace your third-party apps altogether!
Challenge #4: Ensuring security and compliance during and post-migration
Security remains a top priority during and after migration. Organizations need assurance that their data remains protected throughout the process and beyond.

Choose the Right Cloud Migration Partner
It’s essential to remember that migration can be a complex process that depends on the specific environment, users, and their needs. It involves a lot of planning and takes more than just technology to make a successful cloud migration. Gartner warns that selecting the wrong partner is one of the biggest mistakes in a cloud migration. Don’t let it happen to you.
