License Optimization

No more parallel and unstructured use of the Atlassian Toolchain thanks to our License Optimization.

Often, when the use of Atlassian Toolchain in companies becomes more frequent, this increase is parallel and unstructured. This results in challenges: 

  • Creation of a shadow IT 
  • Additional costs due to double licenses, as one user can access multiple instances 
  • Evaluation of a central use of data center or Cloud is not possible 
  • Different instances as server, data center or Cloud instance are often not connected via a Single Sign On solution (link to the Single Sign On page) 
  • The total demand of the Atlassian portfolio is not apparent to you 

Through our licensing consulting services, we help you to determine the actual need and to perform a RightSizing in coordination with you. 

Typical Growing Pains

The more Atlassian is used, the more important it becomes to take stock of the current situation and to take a coordinated approach.

Solution strategies

Depending on the extent to which Atlassian products are used and your strategy, different solutions may be right for you:

Instance consolidation

Reduction of complexity by merging the instances

Analysis of the instances (due diligence)

  • Unification of the instances
  • Merging the instances
  • Disable unnecessary instances

What has to be considered?

  • Do instances exist which are specially regulated? (e.g. R&D)
  • Is access between internal and external to be separated?
  • To consider the resulting complexity in the few instances
Enterprise Cloud
  • For instances with more than 5,000 users
  • Instance consolidation is the ideal basis for migration to the enterprise cloud
  • Suitable for Cloud-only strategy or when Cloud solutions are possible
  • Hosting takes place in the EU
  • Free Cloud usage with data center licenses temporarily possible
  • One user is licensed for multiple cloud instances
Enterprise License Agreement (ELA)

Features:

  • 5,000 users or more
  • Consolidated per-user licensing
  • Any number of instances possible for the fixed number of users
  • Up to three-year contract term
  • Premier Support & Technical Account Manager included
