Find the right strategy
for your company

Atlassian Is Irrevocably in the Cloud

Atlassian will discontinue all Data Center products on March 28, 2029 —support, security updates, and active use will end. Whether on-premises or in a private cloud: Based on JetBrains YouTrack, we’ll work with you to develop a path that meets your needs, ensuring your solutions remain stable, secure, and scalable in the long term.

What does "data center end-of-life" mean?

From that point on, the systems will only be available in read-only mode—without support, without security updates, and without the ability to actively use them.

What this means for you

Increasing Security and Compliance Risks
No more bug fixes or feature updates
High Dependence on Legacy Systems

Instead of short-term stopgap solutions, we help you develop a sustainable strategy in a timely manner—one that is tailored to your regulatory, technical, and economic conditions.

An Alternative to Atlassian?
The YouTrack Analysis

Are you looking for a true on-premises alternative to your current Atlassian stack? JetBrains YouTrack offers a powerful platform—but how smooth is the transition in practice? This white paper provides you with impartial and technically sound guidance to help you make a decision. We introduce the system, analyze the challenges of a switch, and offer concrete guidance on migration: What do you need to consider? What steps are necessary? Where can you take action yourself, and where does it make sense to bring a partner on board?

We'll walk you through, step by step, how to navigate this transition in a structured way.

Cloud vs. On-Premises: An Overview of Your Options

Not every Atlassian environment can be meaningfully migrated to the cloud. Depending on your use cases and regulatory requirements, a platform like YouTrack may be the better choice. We’d be happy to work with you to develop a viable alternative based on YouTrack.

Your Roadmap to YouTrack: Our Structured Migration Approach

Migrating legacy systems is rarely a straightforward process. With an approach that flexibly adapts to the complexity of your environment, you always remain in control. Standard importers quickly reach their limits, especially when dealing with complex Confluence structures, nested tables, or custom Jira workflows. Our solution goes far beyond that.

A successful migration requires a clear plan and a well-defined approach. If moving to YouTrack is the right step for you, we’ll guide you through the process with a structured approach—from analysis to adoption—driven by our specialized in-house developments and the clear “Content First” principle:

Detailed Analysis

We analyze your Atlassian environment and identify dependencies, usage patterns, and opportunities for optimization.

Strategic Planning

Based on the results of the analysis, we develop a customized migration strategy that takes your specific requirements into account.

Extensibility & Custom Apps

If a standard Jira feature or third-party plugin is not natively available, we’ll bridge the gap right from this phase. As one of the most active app developers in the JetBrains ecosystem, we develop tailor-made custom apps as needed (such as current solutions for test management or resource management and planning).

Safe Implementation

Our migration experts will migrate your data to YouTrack securely and efficiently. We communicate transparently and minimize downtime. To prevent data loss where conventional importers fail, we use specialized technologies:

Custom Script Libraries

Based on our experience with numerous successful enterprise migrations, we have developed our own comprehensive script library. These scripts allow us to accurately convert your historical data—including ticket histories, work logs, attachments, and links.

The Confluence Challenge Solved

Knowledge management, in particular, is considered a hurdle. Our scripts ensure that your content is transferred logically and completely. When starting the migration, the rule is: substance over aesthetics.

Optimization and Adoption

Together, we'll optimize your new YouTrack environment and—as needed—build up your internal expertise through customized workshop-style training sessions for administrators and power users.

Ongoing support is available

Upon request, we can provide long-term support and optimization for your YouTrack instance.
