Migrating from Atlassian Server to Cloud at Partners Life

Partners Life acquired a significant insurance business that required a complex separation of digital assets. As part of this acquisition they needed to migrate the relevant Atlassian data and users to their Atlassian Cloud Environment.

Partners Life needed to ensure the data was secure during this migration.

Site migrations are usually completed by a single vendor but due to the nature of the acquisition transaction the team needed to work at arms length.

Partners Life, with Expert360, ensured the data and users were migrated into the environment successfully. This, and the fact that some data needed to be redacted before being sent to Expert360 made the migration more complex.

The help and advice of the Expert360 team on this project was invaluable. They worked with us and the counter-party and were able to adapt quickly to changing circumstances.
