This is how we support you with your cloud migration
Do you want to move to the cloud? Seibert Media can accompany you! Depending on whether you are just starting out or are already advanced in your considerations, we offer you tailor-made support. To make your cloud migration as smooth as possible.
This is what you can expect when moving to the cloud with Seibert Media:
At the beginning, we will carry out a cloud app assessment to check your cloud compatibility and to make an initial cost estimate. Together we will discuss which migration scenarios are suitable for you and as soon as you decide to migrate with Seibert Media, we will go through the four migration phases together up to the launch.

Are there apps that definitely cannot be done without in the cloud?

Assessment of resources
We check where and when we can best support you.
The prerequisite for carrying out the assessment is the following completed questionnaire. Please copy or download the document:
Based on the results of the assessment, we will then review your options.
Migration scenarios
Depending on the size of your business (measured in users), your options are:
Lift & Shift
Suitable for: small medium-sized companies with low complexity = less than 2,000 users
How it works: Everything is migrated at once.
Optimize & Shift
Suitable for: Customers with medium complexity = 2,000-10,000 users
This is how it works: Seibert Media only migrates necessary data and deletes inactive users.
Phased
Suitable for: large companies with high complexity = more than 10,000 users
How it works: In this scenario, your data is migrated in stages to minimize downtime and optimize instances during the migration
Have you already decided to move to the Atlassian Cloud?
We will be happy to assist you with your change. Whether performing the complete technical migration of your Confluence or Jira instance or just a cloud transition workshop - you have the choice of how intensively we should support you with the migration.
