Millions of users moved to cloud in just one year thanks to FastShift
Atlassian’s FastShift program has enabled millions of users to migrate to its Cloud Platform in a year, accelerating enterprise upgrades by 2-3x with dedicated support and tooling.
Atlassian introduced the FastShift program to assist large enterprises still using Data Center environments in transitioning to its Cloud Platform, addressing the challenges of migrating thousands of users, critical data, and complex integrations. The program offers a high-touch, curated support model backed by Atlassian’s migration expertise, including Delivery Managers and Migration Support Engineers, to ensure safe and efficient upgrades. FastShift participants gain access to enterprise-grade tooling and a dedicated portal for real-time tracking and resource access throughout the migration process.
A year after its launch, FastShift has refined its playbooks and added dedicated tooling to further streamline migrations, enabling organizations to focus on adopting cloud-native workflows and AI capabilities. The program accelerates migration timelines from 12-16 months to roughly 2-6 months by providing hands-on partnership and shared accountability, reducing operational disruptions. Participants typically achieve 80-90% cloud adoption rates within months, leveraging interconnected workflows and intelligent automations powered by the Teamwork Graph.
Expedia Group utilized FastShift to migrate over 1,000 Jira projects and 12,000 Confluence spaces, completing the upgrade in three months—55% faster than planned. The migration shifted Expedia’s focus from infrastructure maintenance to strategic initiatives, automation, governance, and AI-powered capabilities, demonstrating the program’s impact on operational efficiency. FastShift has also guided migrations for a heavily regulated financial institution with 140,000+ users and a large media company consolidating fragmented Data Center deployments post-merger.
FastShift continues to evolve based on customer feedback, with enhancements such as expanded roles for Delivery Managers and the addition of Forward Deployed Engineers to handle complex scenarios. The program now offers enterprise-grade migration tooling and platform enhancements, anchored by the FastShift Portal for real-time tracking and visibility. Organizations using FastShift benefit from dedicated expertise and shared delivery accountability, transforming infrastructure migrations into long-term strategic wins.
