Why Cloud is the future and how ClearHub can help

In this age, every business is a software company, regardless of what they sell. As such, IT leaders are being urged to step up and establish shared priorities and responsibilities with department heads for efficiency and growth. For Atlassian users, this means embracing Cloud.

In recent years, Atlassian leaders have headed a Cloud-first approach and actions such as the end of the Server edition of products have accelerated the push, changing the question for customers from should we migrate to the Cloud to how soon can we move?

What’s the fascination with Cloud?

The way people share data and information has evolved over the years thanks to Cloud computing. As a forward-thinking organisation, Atlassian embraced this change and improved its products with Cloud editions. Since then, its Cloud offering has improved vastly, with efforts going into the performance and features of products.

Today, customers benefit from a host of functionalities, including the ability to invite users on sign-up, cost savings of physical hardware, maintenance, installation, support, and admin, as well as enhanced security features when accessing work from different browsers. Teams benefit from security and compliance with real-time updates and rigorous practices to track and protect data and can scale with confidence, knowing they’ll get immediate responses to dynamic spikes in demand and growth.

A survey conducted by Atlassian of its clients showed that 84% of CTOs experienced the peace of mind and benefited from much of the above in fewer than 6 months after migrating to Atlassian Cloud.

All of these efforts prove that Atlassian wants businesses to get the most out of their investment in the software; Cloud enables users to do this, which is why there has been such an emphasis on migrating.
