From Atlassian Server to Cloud for GEODATA
As a long-time user of Jira Service Management Server, GEODATA successfully migrated to Atlassian Cloud with Seibert’s support.
“Our IT administration has become simpler, projects can be completed faster, and our productivity has increased.”

In Brief
GEODATA Group
As Atlassian Server support ended, GEODATA Group faced a time-sensitive decision. They decided to replace their Server instance with Jira Service Management Cloud. The team at Seibert Solutions (formerly Collabri) guided the migration with consulting, training, and technical execution — ensuring a smooth transition with minimal disruption to daily operations.

Atlassian Cloud at GEODATA: Efficient and Secure
Companies have different requirements for their IT systems and workflows. Before moving to the Cloud, it must be carefully assessed whether those requirements can be met in a new operating model. For GEODATA, the key questions were how security, user adoption, and efficient collaboration could be ensured long-term. In joint workshops and analyses with Seibert Solutions, these questions were addressed and the foundation for a future-proof Atlassian environment was created.
High Security Standards
Atlassian Access enables Single Sign-On, two-factor authentication, and centralized user management.
Structured Cloud Migration
Jira Service Management Server was successfully migrated to the Cloud, including all relevant extensions and integrations.
Productivity Gains
IT administration is simpler, projects are completed faster, and overall team productivity has increased noticeably.

The migration plan included a detailed analysis of all extensions to be migrated. The Server instances were replaced with Jira Service Management Cloud, and external user directories were synced via Atlassian Access — enabling SSO and two-factor authentication.
Detailed Migration Planning
Detailed Migration Planning
“We manage around 500 Atlassian users and several dozen admins. We worked closely with all departments involved and discussed potential cybersecurity issues before starting user acceptance testing (UAT). The migration went as planned and was a great success. Only with the timesheets was there a small additional task: missing Tempo accounts were added via script.” — Ahmad Rafi Masir, Head of IT Operations & Security at GEODATA
