While the COVID-19 pandemic had initially thrown a monkey wrench into every business’ digitalisation endeavours, in the larger scheme of things, eventually, the pandemic only accelerated the demand for digitalisation to its peak over the last 18-20 months. And this has resulted in more digitalised business applications than ever before, empowering businesses to speed up their digital transformation projects and make up for the time lost during the early days of the pandemic. That being said, if organisations are to consistently succeed in their complex digital makeovers, they need to manage every step of the process more efficiently. And it starts with unifying information from different tools, systems, and resources and having them under a single pane of glass. Only then can businesses monitor all their digital tools and applications more efficiently and maintain a centralised pulse on their projects, works, and performances. Despite understanding this, many organisations are still finding it difficult to unify and manage all their digital applications. Why?

Hilli Balzer, founder and CEO of PractiProject, explains: “In the pre-pandemic world, we were used to having mostly on-premise (or a mix of both on-premise and cloud) work management systems. But the recent shift to work-from-home culture has brought forth a lot of virtual tools. So this is a relatively new territory for many businesses to dive into and manage their employees work and project data, especially as these are usually managed in several non-linked tools."

Fortunately, helping businesses navigate this new territory is where Balzer’s company, PractiProject—a global consulting and work and application lifecycle management (ALM) tools integrator company—cements its cornerstone. PractiProject leverages its consulting and integrations capabilities to address the issues that businesses are currently facing in terms of integrating different cloud-based digital tools into a single platform and moving the entire work management functionalities to the cloud.

“Whether it is designing the entire work management and workflow strategy, building KPIs, developing organisational dashboards, or setting up IT infrastructure (data center) and DevOps operations, we support our customers at every step of their digital journey,” says Balzer.

Accelerating the Atlassian Cloud Movement

Notably, one of the focus areas where PractiProject is currently helping its clients is the migration to the Atlassian cloud. As one of the top Atlassian solution providers, PractiProject offers its clients a proven strategy to unleash the benefit of Atlassian’s cloud-based ALM technologies. Moreover, as PractiProject has an extensive presence in the U.S., EU, and the MENA area, they are well-suited to come up with cloud migration strategies that best match their client’s location-specific needs.

We have the tools, capabilities, and experience to unravel the complexities of Atlassian cloud migration. We make sure companies get there as quickly and effortlessly as possible through a series of our carefully-tested steps

To make this happen, PractiProject starts by carrying out a system analysis, assessing risks and potential hurdles, and providing its clients with a roadmap to guide them through their cloud journey. After the initial roadmap is laid out, PractiProject performs a trial cloud migration with user acceptance tests (UAT) to verify everything will work as planned. Once tested, PractiProject performs the actual cloud migration and accompanies the client until they are fully reassured. Such a meticulous approach gives PractiProject’s clients an unprecedented boost in better controlling their migration project bottlenecks and proactively mitigating migration project delays from the get-go. “And even then, if a problem has to arise, we have the tools, capabilities, and experience to unravel the complexities of Atlassian cloud migration. We make sure companies get there as quickly and effortlessly as possible through a series of our carefully-tested steps,” adds Balzer.

It is also important to note that PractiProject follows a people-driven, autonomous approach for agile organisational scaling and emphasises the importance of culture and network in digitalisation. This results in a simplified yet very effective scrum implementation at the management level while minimising the hassle of operation for the clients’ team members using automated and customised digital tools. Moving ahead with such a well-thought-out cloud migration approach, PractiProject is determined to be that stepping stone much needed in the near future by many companies in order to leap forward into the Atlassian cloud. “As the business world is going through a peak of digitalisation, we see a favourable time ahead of us. And we want to be ready at all times to help our clients meet their digitalisation needs,” concludes Balzer .
