Integrated Cloud Migration at Swinburne University
With end-of-life support for Atlassian server products looming, Swinburne University's IT Corporate Services team needed to migrate platforms used by 4000+ end users to the cloud.
Area9 collaborated with Swinburne to propose an iterative migration approach after a thorough scoping exercise.
"Area9's agility and adaptability, moving from a lift and shift to an iterative migration strategy, surfaced issues that we didn't previously identify. This approach gave us confidence towards achieving seamless, secure migration."
Gaurav Gupta, Applications Team Lead, Corporate Services, Swinburne University
Government Department
South Australia Government Department
The Department was seeking a cost-effective, secure solution that would speed up operations, provide seamless accessibility for remote staff and external stakeholders, as well as meet Government requirements.
The customer engaged Area9 for a migration of Atlassian solutions to Amazon Web Services (AWS), a database migration to PostgreSQL and ongoing IT support.
"We were dealing with outdated solutions that weren't suitable for modern challenges. Since our department collaborates with a lot of different staff and external vendors a major area we needed to improve was accessibility from various locations."
