Switching from self-hosting to the Cloud usually only happens once in an organization’s lifetime. As a result, many organizations lack the chance to gain practical experience or insight into how to ensure a successful migration.
Without the opportunity for “practice to make perfect,” doing it alone is complex and often-risky. That’s why it pays to have a Solution Partner providing the competencies and experience that you need on your side for a successful one-time migration.

Simplifying Cloud Migrations with Help from Atlassian Solution Partners
Migrating an existing business system to the Cloud is inherently challenging. Working with a Solution Partner reduces the risk of your migration going wrong or becoming so complex that you abandon it altogether. Working with an Atlassian Partner like Valiantys ensures that your migration is seamless and that you’re taking full advantage of everything Atlassian Cloud’s capabilities.
For starters, we can provide extra capacity for teams during this transitional period, so you don’t have to increase your workload or onboard new team members. Our extensive knowledge and expertise can accelerate your migration to Atlassian Cloud with minimal impact on your organization’s performance.
Atlassian Solution Partners offer support through all stages of your migration to Atlassian Cloud. Let’s go over these benefits from beginning to end.
Assessment
A successful Atlassian Cloud migration begins with an effective strategy. Some businesses choose to have their Cloud implementation exactly mirror the implementation and data of their existing solution, with no changes. Other organizations take this opportunity to consolidate or even start with fresh data. But how do you know which method will suit your needs?
Solution Partners assess your organization’s environment to find the best migration strategy for your needs. Then, we’ll help create a migration timeline that suits your needs and goals, meets your security requirements, and ensures you won’t experience downtime.
User Management and Apps
Using our assessment as a starting point, we’ll work with your organization to determine the best way to migrate your data. For example, we can help you determine if using the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant (JCMA) or the Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant (CCMA) is a good fit for you.
Solution Partners can also recommend the apps and tools that will best suit your Cloud implementation. If you’re new to Atlassian, Solution Partners can help you navigate the Atlassian product suite and select which new tools to implement. If you’re migrating from Atlassian Server or Data Center, you may find that some of your marketplace apps are unsupported and you may also need to rethink how you manage your users in the Cloud.
Solution Partners can help you review Atlassian Cloud tooling, including Jira Service Management, Confluence, Bitbucket, and third-party apps from the Atlassian Marketplace, to help you determine and implement the tools you’ll need. In addition to being experts in the Atlassian Cloud product suite, Solution Partners are familiar with all that the Atlassian Marketplace has to offer, helping you round out your new implementation.
Execution
Before executing the data migration, Solution Partners test our proposed strategy in a staging environment, mapping all possible issues and their respective fixes. This allows you to take full advantage of your Atlassian Cloud environment and your legacy information without losing critical documentation.
From there, the production rollout finally begins — either in stages or all at once, depending on your migration strategy.
Enablement and Ongoing Improvement
The journey doesn’t end when your migration goes live. Moving to Atlassian Cloud illuminates new data that you can use to improve workflows, track progress, and make even more efficiency gains.
To ensure your organization’s continued success, your Solution Partner offers ongoing support, trains your teams to use their newly provided tools, and helps you improve workload efficiency and scale down the road.
