The sixth mistake

After the cloud , Administrators lose control

When the administrator is considering the local migration to the cloud , One of the most frequently mentioned concerns is ： When moving to the cloud , What will happen to my job ？

Host your tools locally , It means your team （ Only your team ） Can have full control from the release time 、 Everything from security to custom applications . Although you may need to do more , But it may also give you a sense of comfort .

Moving to the cloud , In a sense , You need to give up some responsibilities . Trust others to prioritize security , Minimize downtime 、 Release updates , And keep running smoothly that makes you look good in front of the boss （ Or failure ） System .

Is it worth it ？ Will moving to the cloud really make you lose control ？ Is this a bad thing or a good thing ？

●   Giving up control can lead to chaos , Generate more work

First , The important thing is ： Trust suppliers with a good track record , It does not mean giving up all control . Just like you trust your friends and colleagues , Let them undertake specific tasks that they are good at . Moving to the cloud means trusting your vendors to handle the tasks they are best at .

Atlassian Is a reliable supplier , It can provide you with uptime 、 Data security and tool updates . In the last ten years , It has been investing in cloud products , To provide you with the most secure cloud experience .

Last , Shift some responsibility to your suppliers , It means that you and your team can reduce unnecessary work . This allows you to focus on other things , Such as strategy and business improvement . Say nothing of , Going to the cloud will also bring a lot of savings , It can make you outstanding in the eyes of your boss . in fact , maximal SaaS One of the real estate brokerage companies ——Redfin , Savings in the first few months of moving to the cloud 60,000 dollar .

“ To be frank , Let our engineers or IT It is a waste of time and money for professionals to manage our system locally . If a company already has an amazing product , Why don't they do it ？ such , We can spend our time on what we are good at , Instead of wasting on maintenance and unnecessary labor .”

What is more wonderful is that , Administrators don't completely lose control . You can still access status.atlassian.com, Perform almost everything you need to do as a server administrator , Just use the new workflow .

●   If you move to the cloud , As an administrator, I may lose my job

With the cloud , The job of the system administrator will certainly change , But this is actually a good thing . If you and the company you work for want to remain competitive , So learning how to manage the cloud is not only important today , It is also indispensable in the future . The faster you embrace the cloud , The more cloud related skills you have .

According to one 2020 Annual report ,93% Our company has developed a multiple cloud strategy （multi-cloud strategy）,61% Our company will focus on migration to the cloud in the coming year .

in the final analysis , What these tasks have in common is that they are active rather than passive , Is driving your business forward , Not just to ensure stability .

“ Since we moved to the cloud , Inside IT Fewer work orders  50%. The main thing I hear is not processing errors or managing requests , It's the new applications and features that our users want to add , Finally, help them finish their work better , And provide more value for our customers .”

The seventh mistake

The customization of cloud version is very weak

“Server Is the customization of the cloud version more powerful than the cloud version ？ Can customization make the team more efficient ？”

This is from Atlassian Local Server In the process of version migration to the cloud , One of the most frequently heard questions . This is not unreasonable , After all , If you've got the system and workflow you want , Will the migration to the cloud change this ？ Will it make it more difficult for you to meet the unique needs of your team ？

The answer is , The cloud is more flexible than you think .

●   I can be there. Server Create more custom workflows in

Although it's true ,Atlassian Cloud systems are standardized for all users , But it does not mean that there is no custom space . As server administrator , Almost everything you are used to doing , Can be done in the cloud . The difference is how you do it , Not if you can do .

When we ask the server administrator about their experience , They told us , The old way of doing things involves a lot of messy solutions 、 Bad hacking 、 Suboptimal configuration （ Or over configured ）、 Solve the wrong problems and the technical debts they have not solved .

“Atlassian The cloud version is that I am still Atlassian Reasons for enthusiastic supporters . It reflects the first time I fell in love with Atlassian Everything about the product …… The tool exists to support and enhance the team , Instead of forcing the team to change the way it works to support the tool . If you keep the configuration simple , And use out of the box products …… You will embrace agility .”

The eighth mistake

It is difficult for enterprises to take advantage of cloud expansion

Can the cloud support large enterprises ？ Can it grow with the development of our business ？ How many users can it actually support ？

The answer to all these questions is ——Yes. Yes ,Atlassian Cloud Support large enterprises . Yes , It can grow with your business . Yes , Your thousands of users are right Atlassian No problem for me .

This misconception may be due to the fact that small teams are faster than large enterprises 、 The morning clouds , These perceptions are formed . But now , This has completely become a misunderstanding .

●   The cloud is only for small teams

With Redfin、Afterpay、Dropbox and Rockwell Automation And other heavyweight enterprises have adopted Atlassian cloud , Enough to prove that this is wrong .80% The wealth of 500 All strong enterprises have Atlassian Cloud license , They have... Every month 1000 Million active users . And in 190 A country / region , There are more than 170,000 Customers use Atlassian Cloud products .

The cloud is built to scale with your business —— In terms of computing power and function . That's why  Atlassian Make a layered plan for the cloud ： The standard version 、 Advanced and enterprise . Each plan builds on the previous plan , For greater 、 More complex organizations provide functions and options .

●   The cloud does not support enterprise complexity

More complex infrastructure 、 Globally distributed teams 、 Important requirements from security to change management …… Enterprises undoubtedly have their own alliances .

however , As the numbers in the previous article show , This does not keep those heavyweights away from the cloud . in fact , The right cloud plan can not only support complex enterprise needs , And simplify them .
