Today, teams are under pressure to deliver faster, work smarter, and stay connected — even as their tools and systems grow more complicated. Many organizations still rely on outdated software or disconnected tools that slow them down. That’s why more and more companies are switching to Atlassian Cloud — to improve how their teams work together and get things done.
Atlassian Cloud isn’t just about upgrading software. It’s about changing how work happens across the whole organization, so teams can stay aligned, move quickly, and do their best work.
From Data Center to Cloud: A Shift in Mindset
Switching from Atlassian’s Data Center products to Cloud is a big step, and it comes with major benefits. With Cloud, you’re not just moving your tools to someone else’s servers. You’re connecting everything: people, information, and teamwork.
All your tools work together: Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, Compass, and more are connected in the Cloud.
Data is easier to find and use: With Atlassian’s Teamwork Graph, everything from tasks to documents to people is linked together.
Built-in security and updates: Cloud includes automatic updates, strong security, and global compliance out of the box.
This change is particularly critical in today’s climate — where, according to Atlassian’s research, 93% of Fortune 500 CEOs cite productivity as a top priority, and nearly half believe improved collaboration could cut time to results in half.
What’s a “System of Work”?
Atlassian defines the System of Work as the connective tissue that binds strategy to execution. It’s not a single tool or workflow — it’s an integrated philosophy that connects teams, technologies, and goals through a unified platform.

Aligning Work to Goals: Keep Everyone on the Same Page
Successful outcomes start with strategic alignment. In the Cloud, Atlassian tools like Jira Product Discovery and Jira Align help bridge the gap between top-level objectives and day-to-day tasks.
Whether you're managing OKRs, product roadmaps, or quarterly planning, the cloud-native platform ensures that every team’s work is visible in the broader context of business goals. This kind of transparency reduces misalignment and empowers leaders to make faster, more confident decisions.

Plan and Track Work With Less Stress
Once aligned, teams need powerful tools to plan and track their work, and Atlassian Cloud delivers. With Jira Advanced Roadmaps, list views, and whiteboards powered by real-time collaboration, teams can visualize dependencies, adjust plans, and respond to changes without losing momentum.
Cross-functional coordination becomes easier when work is centralized in a shared platform. The result is better visibility, fewer surprises, and smoother delivery cycles.

Unleashing Knowledge: Make the Invisible Visible
One of the most overlooked challenges in large organizations is knowledge fragmentation. Confluence, enhanced with Smart Links, content trees, and whiteboards, helps surface relevant information where teams need it most.
But the real magic comes from the Teamwork Graph — Atlassian’s data model that connects people, content, and projects across the platform. It brings structure to your organization’s knowledge, making it easier to discover insights, reuse solutions, and onboard new team members.
This transformation turns your scattered documentation into a strategic asset.

Meet Your New Teammate: AI
Cloud also unlocks a new dimension of work: AI-powered teammates. Rovo, Atlassian’s generative AI agent, uses the Teamwork Graph to deliver relevant insights, automate repetitive tasks, and help teams move faster.
Need a project summary, meeting prep, or risk assessment? Rovo can surface what you need in seconds — across Jira, Confluence, and other integrated tools. It's not just an assistant — it’s a force multiplier for every knowledge worker.

Why It Matters: Real Business Outcomes
The shift to Atlassian Cloud isn’t just about tools — it’s about results. Organizations that adopt a connected System of Work see measurable improvements.
And most importantly, teams report a stronger sense of collaboration — because when systems are aligned, people can focus on what they do best.
Customization Without Compromise
Need custom workflows, integrations, or data governance? Atlassian’s Forge platform allows teams to build secure, scalable apps directly within the cloud ecosystem.
The Forge platform is built on Atlassian’s robust cloud technology, providing you with secure and reliable ways to run apps and store data, including key features such as separating customer data and choosing where it’s stored. This setup adheres to Atlassian’s high standards for security and ensures everything functions smoothly at scale.
With more than 60 add-ons and hundreds of APIs, developers can easily adjust Jira, Jira Service Management (JSM), Confluence, Compass, and Bitbucket to fit your team’s needs — like connecting to other tools, adding new features, or changing workflows. Soon, Forge will also enable developers to integrate outside data, gain smarter insights, and explore new ways to utilize information through the Teamwork Graph, further enhancing the seamless integration of everything.
The Future of Work Is Connected
Atlassian Cloud isn’t just about moving to the latest tech. It’s about creating a better way for your teams to work — faster, smarter, and more connected than ever before.
If your teams are feeling stuck, working in silos, or spending too much time managing tools instead of doing real work, it might be time for a change.
The future of work is here — and it’s built in the Cloud.
