System vendor Jira has decided to phase out its Server version of its applications.
They will continue to operate, but without upgrades and development, they will quickly cease to meet the needs of companies. Organizations have faced the need to migrate their instances. They have two options: moving to Atlassian Cloud or Data Center. What they often don't know, however, is that the choice defines not only the form of maintenance of the environment, but also issues such as the range of configuration, development, and integration options. Entry thresholds are different for Jira Cloud, and others for Data Center. Prices are also different. The decision will therefore depend on, among other things: the size of the company, the number of individual configurations, the level of sophistication of the processes that have been implemented into the Atlassian environment, the number of users, or internal regulations related to the management and processing of personal data. Using information published by Atlassian, we present below the most important differences. We also invite you to contact us.
