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.

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.
Running unsupported software in a regulated environment isn't just risky — it's a compliance violation. Auditors will flag it on day one.
For organizations with FedRAMP, ITAR, HIPAA, or data sovereignty requirements, Atlassian Cloud fails to meet compliance thresholds.
Enterprise Atlassian deployments with thousands of users, custom plugins, and deep integrations take 12–24 months to migrate properly.
We've developed a structured methodology for regulated-environment migrations. No surprises, no scope creep.
We map your entire Atlassian footprint: instance topology, plugins, integrations, data classification, compliance obligations, and user workflows. Nothing is missed.
You receive a prioritized, phased migration plan with clear timelines, risk mitigation strategies, rollback points, and executive-ready documentation.
We guide your team through every phase of execution — data migration, integration rewiring, user training, and compliance validation through cutover.
Forge HQ delivers structured, compliance-aware migration services for regulated organizations. Start with an assessment, then build out your full migration plan.

Not every organization should migrate to the same platform. We evaluate self-hosted and sovereign-cloud alternatives — GitLab, Plane, OpenProject, XWiki, and more — against your specific compliance and operational requirements.
End-to-end migration delivery, from planning through cutover. We handle data migration, user training, integration rewiring, and compliance validation — so your team stays productive and your auditors stay satisfied.
We work with organizations where data sovereignty isn't a preference — it's a legal requirement.
Federal, state, and local agencies with FedRAMP and sovereignty mandates
ITAR, classified, and air-gapped environments
HIPAA-regulated systems and patient data protection
SOX, PCI-DSS, and data residency requirements
Deep expertise, a real process, and zero conflict of interest.
“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.”
“Unlike Atlassian's own consultants, Forge HQ was honest about what would and wouldn't work for our sovereignty requirements. That objectivity was invaluable.”
