Why Choose Atlassian Consulting? Working with an Atlassian Partner

All companies want to stay ahead of the game.  Adopting new technologies can catalyze innovation, but not everyone sees the positive results.

Working with Atlassian products can feel the same. Jira offers so many features that it's easy to get lost. You might end up with a set of programs that look great and are supposed to speed up your work. But you lack the expertise to unlock their potential. Fortunately, Atlassian's extensive ecosystem has an engaged community and reliable partners. 

Read on to find out how you can improve your Atlassian product ROI.

Atlassian Partners

Known for its collaborative spirit, the Atlassian community is all about sharing knowledge. It's full of enthusiasts who engage in forums and at online and offline events with a wealth of useful resources. In 2019, there were already 394 community leaders and a total of 18.6 million visitors to the community site.

Besides the users themselves, there are companies with strong ties to Atlassian.

Atlassian Solution Partners are part of Atlassian's global network of partners. Partner status allows organizations to demonstrate their expertise with tools like Jira and Confluence. They are consultants, advisors, trainers, and thought leaders. Some of them (like Peakforce) provide consulting and problem-solving within the Atlassian domain. They are the place to go if you are struggling to achieve peak performance.

Through consulting services, Atlassian experts help organizations implement the right technologies, best practices, and troubleshoot issues to achieve their
business goals.

When to consider Atlassian Consulting?

Teams use different tools that often don't work well together. It's hard for leaders to get a complete picture of what's going on in projects. Project managers want tools that are simple and show information clearly, such as charts and timelines.

Jira, Confluence, and other Atlassian tools can help with these issues. However, if we're not using their features to their full potential, it might be time to ask for help from experts who can look at them differently. 

1. Your Atlassian apps aren't working the way you want, and you don't know how to improve them.
   Jira has lots of features, full customization, and Atlassian Marketplace apps that can extend it with additional functionality. But teams lack the right skills to take full advantage. Organizations want to train their staff or work with experts on a short-term basis. In this case, consulting with an experienced administrator can be a solution. 

2. You're new to Atlassian tools and need guidance
   During the initial stages of using Atlassian tools, guidance and support are invaluable. Consultants will show you how to use the tools of your choice, and how to develop them as you need.
3. The existing setup is not enough. Your team needs customized solutions.
   The number of features in Jira can be intimidating. Customization is here to better reflect your organization's needs and user preferences. Like automation and custom scripts, which are a great way to increase overall productivity and efficiency. Consultants can advise on the best changes to implement and ensure a smooth process.
4. Time is running out, and you still have to complete the data migration.
   Data is precious and must be handled with care. Migration is not a simple process. If you are still using Atlassian Server, or need a change from Data Center, let the consultants help you with migration to the Cloud.

Gartner predicts that more than 50% of enterprises will use industry cloud platforms by 2028 to accelerate their business initiatives.

Benefits of a partnership with IT consulting companies

Businesses worry about costs, reputation and making sure their technology investments pay off. It's hard for teams to keep things running smoothly, fix problems, and make sure everything is performing at its best.

But Atlassian tools like Jira and Confluence make managing projects easier. These solutions help organizations achieve their goals, deliver software, and manage IT services better than ever before. Companies value them for their versatility and adaptability, regardless of the size of their team.

1. Reach your goals faster
   While technical knowledge is critical, best practices and a business approach provide a broader perspective. Not sure how to create a secure configuration and take care of permissions? Don't know how to simplify the workflow and fit it into the project? Consultants guide clients by understanding the organization's needs and business requirements to support the overall strategy with tailored solutions.
2. Lower hiring costs
   Finding the perfect talent can be time-consuming, costly and leave vacancies open for months. With remote consulting companies, you can gain access to a wide talent pool. We focus on factors such as proficiency in English, cultural fit, and set pricing to adjust to our clients. We can cover both long and short-term requirements, allowing you to start a project at short notice.
3. Scale with ease
   Flexibility is another benefit. It's beneficial not only for regular projects but for short-term commitments, seasonal demands, or situations where the workload fluctuates. We listen to your needs and find the right candidates to join the team.
   “Industry reports predict that even more companies will face a developer shortage. Don't let it stop you growing & achieving your goals.”
4. Maximize project efficiency
   Augmenting the team with people dedicated to a single need can significantly improve performance. They do not need to focus on the overall goal of the business, but will introduce a results-oriented approach. What's more, their experience and fresh insights can often help improve existing practices and introduce new, more effective solutions.
5. Stay ahead of the competition
   Experts can help you find your pain points and solve them before they escalate. We'll look at what you need, suggest improvements, and regularly check to keep everything working as it should to reach your goals.

At Peakforce, we're not just about providing services. We're about building long-term partnerships. We believe in the power of working together, with open communication, trust, and a shared vision for success.
