A Leader in Manufacturing Systems’ Journey to Cloud With 20+ years on the Cloud itself, they were ready to start the journey to Atlassian Cloud. What a journey it was.

E7 Solutions' recent client, a leader in the Manufacturing Systems space, is a software company that analyzes manufacturing operations among a wide range of industries - from metal to food and beverage. As a cloud-based software company, they were finally ready to start the journey to Atlassian Cloud in 2021. What a journey it was.

Originally, their motive for migrating to Cloud was a pressing desire to no longer support infrastructure internally. Their IT team was not set up to support it themselves; they relied on slight internal experience and a third-party tool that required frequent backups and security updates. The manual work involved lacked efficiency - the team needed something better.

Their internal team was responsible for building the infrastructure, and it took some convincing for them to drive some team members back to Cloud after experiencing so many issues in the past. However, with the push of Atlassian sunsetting Server and a need for support to guide the Cloud Migration journey, their team had to keep searching for a solution - until they found E7 Solutions.

With a thorough migration process - referred to as the E7 Solutions Cloud Migration Playbook, the team assessed the data, applications, and integrations that the client had in their Jira and Confluence server sites. From there, the E7 team formulated a plan to move the data out of Server and into Cloud. With all of the data being migrated, the team was initially facing a migration of five to seven days. E7 was able to cut it down to four days.

Timesheets by Tempo were migrated with ease by E7 Solutions into Atlassian Cloud, as well. With Timesheets by Tempo, the #1 Jira time-tracking plugin, users can report and track Jira timesheets simply.

“E7 Solutions did a great job helping us ease our concerns with moving back to Cloud. They provided information from Atlassian on the performance of their Cloud infrastructure, answered questions, and set up demo environments. They were willing to do anything they could to ease our minds,” said the Director of IT. “Our team was really happy with the answers we got. All of the above helped, [along with] the investment Atlassian made. Luckily so far, all of the problems we used to have do not exist.”
