    Atlassian's Big Shift: From Data Center to Cloud

    Atlassian has changed significantly over the past 20 years, and so have the needs, expectations, and strategies of the organizations that rely on its products. In this episode of The Jira Life, guest John Eisenschmidt explores how the Atlassian ecosystem has evolved, the shift from Data Center to Cloud, and how organizations should think about Atlassian's role in their broader technology and business strategy. We’ll also examine what could disrupt those plans, from external market forces to changes on Atlassian’s own product roadmap, and what organizations should be considering as they plan for the future.The Jira Life=====================================Having trouble keeping up with when we are live?
