The Connected Enterprise on Cloud

Watch our webinar panel featuring guest speaker Tracy Woo, Senior Analyst at Forrester. She will be speaking about cloud trends and the value of cloud alongside customer panelists from Clearwater Analytics and Sun Life. These panelists will discuss the positive impact of migrating their self-managed versions of Jira Software, Confluence, and Jira Service Management to the Atlassian Cloud. This migration has resulted in more connected teams, technology, and data across their organizations.

  • Why they made the business case for a cloud migration
  • How they managed the change across the organization
  • Which new features and functionality they’ve found to be most impactful in improving the connection between teams
  • What the impact has been to date
