INIT and Seibert Solutions
Around 1,500 employees, a small internal IT team, and global users across all time zones: INIT needed to ensure stable Atlassian operations, regular security updates, and minimal downtime. Migrating to Atlassian Cloud was the logical next step.
“We reclaimed valuable resources.”

What Improved After the Cloud Migration
Migrating to Atlassian Cloud noticeably relieved INIT: maintenance overhead dropped significantly, security risks were reduced, and the IT team can now focus more on strategic initiatives.
Stable Operations
No more manual monthly security updates. Updates now run automatically, security risks drop, and unplanned downtime is significantly reduced.
Focus on Improvement
Instead of maintaining systems, the IT team now actively drives optimization and development — adding real value rather than just keeping things running.
More Value for Users
Freed-up capacity goes toward qualified support, consulting, and enablement — meaning users get more attention and better outcomes.
Situation Before the Cloud Migration
Choosing an Atlassian Partner
for the Cloud Migration
For the migration from Atlassian Data Center to Cloud, INIT chose to work with Seibert Solutions. The internal IT team generally prefers to work independently and brings deep technical expertise. However, the experience of self-managing the Confluence migration showed that time-intensive troubleshooting was tying up valuable capacity. For the Jira migration, INIT therefore deliberately chose a partner who could offer both licensing and substantive consulting.
“Our small IT team was massively overwhelmed by monthly security updates in Data Center. Moving to the Cloud was the only way to reclaim valuable resources and refocus on our core mission: making our users more effective.”

Working with Seibert Solutions
— How the partnership came about
INIT operated without a partner for a long time, handling many topics in-house. But after the Confluence migration, time-intensive troubleshooting was significantly tying up internal capacity. For the Jira migration, INIT chose Seibert Solutions — with the goal of meaningfully relieving the internal team and refocusing on support, user consulting, and optimization.
- Consulting and relief — not just license procurement
- Support with the Jira migration to reduce internal troubleshooting overhead
- Confluence migration handled internally first; Jira migration done with Seibert Solutions
- INIT handled communications; Seibert focused on optimization and user consulting
