Moving beyond Atlassian Server: Your options explained
With Atlassian announcing changes in Server licenses for Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket and more, now’s the time to carefully consider the next steps for your business. We’re here to help.

What’s next for your Jira Server platform?
At the end of 2020, Atlassian announced that as of February 2021, it will no longer sell new Server licenses.
For current Server customers, support will end in February 2024, with license and plug-in user tier changes no longer being possible from February 2022.
This cloud-first focus opens the door to new possibilities for collaboration and innovation, while raising important questions that require careful consideration.
Is now the time to move fully to Atlassian Cloud? Could Data Center—or a hybrid model—be the right option? How will your add-on apps be affected?
We understand that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, and have created this page to arm you with all the information you need to make the best choice for your organisation.
As always, our experts are on hand to help—from migration strategies to Atlassian licensing and everything in between. Get in touch with us directly to explore your options in more detail.
