Everyone can agree the technology industry has experienced a whirlwind of changes over the past 10, 5, or even just last year. While building the backbone for today’s innovations, legacy applications have become a soft spot for every organization and industry. Determining when to let go is difficult. However, once organizations replace legacy systems with new tech, your organization can easily handle and secure updates.
For organizations aiming to enhance efficiency, scalability and collaboration, migrating to modern platforms is critical. At Forty8Fifty Labs, we have witnessed how Atlassian’s suite of tools offers many solutions for such transitions. With our shared expertise, we can ensure a seamless transition.
Why Migrate from Legacy Applications?
Legacy systems are notorious for high maintenance costs, limited scalability, inefficiencies and increased security risks. Transitioning to tools like Atlassian Jira Cloud empowers teams with real-time collaboration, simplified workflows and drastically increased data security, all essential to staying competitive in today’s business environment.

Case and Point: Leading Insurance Provider Migrates 22-Year-Old Environment to Jira Cloud
In 2022, a leading insurance company reached out for help. The organization was stuck riding the migration treadmill. Their 22-year-old legacy system was draining resources, hampering efficiency and increasing data integrity concerns. The main reason they had yet to convert was navigating employee buy-in, as they were understandably hesitant to adopt new tools.
After meeting with Forty8Fifty Labs, the insurance provider decided to hop off the treadmill uncovering the next challenge. The joint Atlassian and Forty8Fifty Labs team needed to create a migration plan and documentation of on-prem instances for an Atlassian Jira environment that was not only 22 years old but had undergone 14 upgrades. Compounding the complexity were the 8,501 agents and 25,000 general users who interacted with the system daily.
The project team took the challenge in stride, launching the initiative by selectively pulling data and conducting work sessions on a comprehensive two-month assessment. This effort resulted in a tailored cloud migration plan and documentation system designed for the organization’s on-premise requests.
By that summer, Forty8Fifty Labs had executed the phased migration and ensured seamless performance and data integrity through three rigorous test passes. These tests provided meticulous clean-up and assessments, delivering a fully optimized, secure cloud environment and well-prepared employees.
