Migration paths
Our Atlassian cloud migration services
Every Atlassian migration looks similar on the surface, but the complexity varies significantly depending on your starting point, your level of customization, and how your tools are used day to day.
If you are still on Atlassian Server, you are running on a product that has reached end of support, with no security patches and growing compliance risk. We migrate workflows, custom fields, permission schemes, attachments and Marketplace app data to Atlassian Cloud, with full data integrity, a documented runbook, and a tested rollback plan so your teams keep working through the cutover.
Data Center migrations are bigger and more sensitive. The complexity sits in three places: custom scripts with no direct Cloud equivalent, Marketplace apps that need a vendor-supported migration path, and integrations with external systems like Salesforce, ServiceNow or your CI/CD pipeline. We audit all three upfront, decide with you between a single cutover or a phased approach, and rebuild what doesn't migrate cleanly.
After a merger, an acquisition or a reorg, teams often end up with two or three separate Atlassian Cloud sites that should be one. We consolidate them into a single governed instance, merge user directories, preserve full issue history, and rebuild dashboards, permission schemes and automation rules in the destination site so reporting and governance work on day one.
Marketplace apps are the single largest source of migration delays. We audit every installed app to identify which ones have a Cloud equivalent, which need a vendor-supported migration path, and which need to be replaced or rebuilt. For custom scripts with no direct Cloud equivalent, our engineering team rebuilds the logic using Atlassian's Forge platform or native Cloud automation rules.
The cost of delay
Delaying your Atlassian Cloud migration costs you $483,000/year.
Not migrating to Atlassian Cloud isn’t a neutral decision. It’s a costly one. Organizations that delay migration lose ~$1.45M in net value over three years per 1,000 users.
That’s $483,000 every year in missed productivity, unnecessary infrastructure spend, and avoidable legacy costs.
In 2026, the question isn’t whether change is coming. It’s whether you’ll keep paying the hidden tax of standing still or turn inevitable change into measurable value.

Migrating to the cloud: our method
What is the process for migrating to the Atlassian Cloud with Modus Create?
From the initial audit to the final migration, Modus supports you every step of the way.
1. Understanding your business needs and challenges
Through a kick-off workshop, Modus organizes a question-and-answer session to understand your needs and the areas for improvement we can address.
2. Instance, integrations and apps assessment
We inventory your environment: users, projects, custom configurations, automation, Marketplace apps and external integrations. Output: a written assessment with risk register and effort estimate.
3. Preparing and testing the migration in a sandbox environment
We provision a Cloud sandbox and run a complete test migration. We test data integrity, app behavior, integrations and user permissions before any production move.
4. UAT and configuration adjustments
Your team performs user acceptance testing on the sandbox. We adjust configurations based on feedback, and document every Cloud-side configuration in a runbook.
5. Plan the migration (backup, communication, timing)
We define the cutover window, communication plan, rollback strategy and downtime tolerance. Your users know exactly what to expect, and so does your IT team.
6. Perform the migration with full supervision
We execute the production migration with full supervision, then provide 30 days of hypercare: dedicated support, daily check-ins, and rapid resolution of any post-migration issues.
Ready to move to Atlassian Cloud?
You don’t need a full project plan to get started but you do need clarity on what’s ahead. We’ll review your current instance, identify risks, and outline a realistic migration approach you can act on.
