As organizations adapt to changing needs, technology plays a central role in driving performance. One powerful way to enhance team and organizational productivity is through Cloud migration. Here, we’ll explore why migrating to the Atlassian Cloud can increase productivity for your team and organization. Moreover, we will look at two successful examples of companies that migrated to the Cloud. The shift to the Cloud is not just a passing trend—it’s a movement backed by data and research!

Businesses are Moving to the Cloud

According to a study by Microsoft, nearly 80% of professionals are already moving to the Cloud, and this shift is driving performance improvements. Moreover, employees anticipate even greater multi-cloud adoption in the coming years. 25% of employees believe that Cloud technology adoption is propelled by expanding cloud capacity and 25% advancements like artificial intelligence (AI) ( Source: Microsoft) – and 50% believe it is both.
They couldn’t be more right! 77% of Atlassian’s AI tools (available only through Atlassian Cloud) report saving time using AI search functions, resulting in higher productivity ( Source: Atlassian).

Further research from Stanford University shows that employees using Cloud software with remote access are 13% more productive than those without. Stanford economist Nicholas Bloom substantiates that the hybrid work setup allows employees to work from home, has no negative impact on productivity or career advancement, and increases employee retention ( Source: Stanford University). The logic is straightforward – happy employees equals employee satisfaction and thus increased productivity!

With this data in mind, moving to the Cloud doesn’t just make sense for boosting productivity—it’s almost necessary to remain competitive in today’s digital landscape ( Source: Gartner).

Why Move to the Atlassian Cloud?

Atlassian Cloud can catalyze increased productivity in your organization. It increases scalability and flexibility and is more cost-efficient – the list goes on.
Whether you’re an IT manager looking for streamlined workflows or an HR manager interested in better employee engagement, Atlassian Cloud offers tools designed to boost performance.

Cross-Team Collaboration

One of Atlassian Cloud’s most significant productivity benefits is its ability to foster collaboration across teams. Tools like Jira, Confluence, and Trello make it easier for teams to collaborate in real-time, reducing delays and improving communication. Collaboration becomes smoother and more efficient when all remote or in-office teams have access to the same data, project updates, and feedback.

Improved Employee Engagement

Cloud migration encourages a hybrid work environment, which research has shown increases employee engagement. Atlassian Cloud allows employees to access essential tools and information from anywhere, empowering them to control their work and contribute to a more engaged and satisfied workforce. The flexibility of Cloud tools means employees can seamlessly switch between devices and locations, boosting morale and engagement.

The Cloud Promotes Focus and Expertise

Cloud technology allows teams to work smarter, not harder. With tools like those within Atlassian’s suite, employees can focus on the most critical tasks, while AI features help automate repetitive processes. This leads to higher productivity as teams can allocate more time to value-driven tasks than mundane manual work.

Cloud Shortens the To-Do List for IT Teams

For IT managers, Cloud migration offers a significant productivity boost by offloading the routine maintenance of on-premise infrastructure. Atlassian Cloud handles updates, security patches, and other system maintenance tasks, which frees your IT teams to focus on more strategic initiatives. By reducing the burden of managing physical servers, Cloud technology allows your IT team to operate more efficiently and allocate resources to projects that drive business growth.

Simplifying Processes for Non-Technical Teams

Cloud tools like Atlassian are not just for technical teams. Non-technical departments such as HR and marketing benefit from the simplicity and usability of Cloud-based platforms. Whether tracking projects in Trello or managing content in Confluence, these tools help non-technical teams streamline their workflow, ensuring everyone can contribute to organisational goals regardless of their technical expertise.

Cloud Migration Case Studies

Cloud migration has become a pivotal strategy for organizations worldwide, enabling them to enhance operational efficiency, scalability, and security – which translates into increased productivity for teams and organizations. Two notable examples of successful Cloud migrations, led by Seibert Solutions, are VR Payment and Uelzener Insurance.

Bye Bye, Server – We Need a Cloud Solution

VR Payment’s Transition to the Atlassian Cloud

VR Payment, a payment service provider, employs approximately 350 staff members and has around 500 users of Atlassian products. In June 2021, the company migrated its server instances to the Atlassian Cloud, prompted by its announcement of ending server product support in February 2024. The migration process commenced in November 2021 and concluded in February 2022 ( Source: Seibert Solutions).
