Migration kickoff
How migration works
Migration is a headache for many people. After all, it is an important milestone on the way to the Atlassian Cloud, if not the most important. Therefore, it’s important to carefully prepare well for the migration process. With that said, you don't need to panic or procrastinate over fears that something might go wrong: knowledge and information can prevent (almost) all worries!
That’s why we’ve put together an overview of the migration process and how different responsibilities are divided between you, the customer, and Seibert Media. In the end, hopefully you realize that you've been worrying over nothing, because with just three steps, you can safely take off into the Atlassian Cloud!
