⚠ Atlassian Data Center support ends February 2029 — Is your organization ready?
2029Atlassian Data Center
reaches end of life

Atlassian Data Center ends in 2029.
Your data can't go to the cloud.
We'll get you out safely.

If your organization handles classified, regulated, or sovereignty-bound data, Atlassian's cloud migration path isn't an option. You need a different plan — and the clock is ticking.

Enterprise migrations take 12–24 months. Organizations that start planning in 2026 will have options. Those who wait until 2028 won't.

The Problem Is Real — and the Deadline Is Fixed

Atlassian has announced the end of support and end of life for all Data Center products by February 15, 2029. After that date, no security patches, no bug fixes, no support.

No More Security Patches

Running unsupported software in a regulated environment isn't just risky — it's a compliance violation. Auditors will flag it on day one.

Cloud Isn't an Option

For organizations with FedRAMP, ITAR, HIPAA, or data sovereignty requirements, Atlassian Cloud fails to meet compliance thresholds.

Migration Takes Years

Enterprise Atlassian deployments with thousands of users, custom plugins, and deep integrations take 12–24 months to migrate properly.

A Proven Process — Not Guesswork

We've developed a structured methodology for regulated-environment migrations. No surprises, no scope creep.

“The assessment delivered a clear, actionable roadmap that our leadership could immediately act on. We finally had a path forward that didn't involve putting our data in someone else's cloud.”

“Forge HQ identified compliance gaps we didn't even know we had. Their deep knowledge of regulated environments saved us from a migration that would have created serious audit exposure.”

VP of Infrastructure
