Scaling efficiently: Successful cloud migration in intralogistics

An international intralogistics company was looking for a future-proof solution for its distributed Atlassian system landscape. Together with catworkx, it migrated to the Atlassian Cloud, laying the foundation for scalable collaboration, centralised control and reduced IT costs.

An international intralogistics company had been using Atlassian tools for years as the backbone of its project work, spread across several subsidiaries and locations. But as the company grew, so did the complexity: different instances, manual maintenance processes and inconsistent security standards increasingly slowed down IT.
Internally, it became clear that the existing server infrastructure could no longer meet the increasing demands for security, scalability, and efficiency. The organisation needed a future-proof solution that would enable centralised control without sacrificing flexibility.

The structure of the company placed high demands on any change:

• Multiple Atlassian instances in different subsidiaries
• Heterogeneous IT standards and local responsibilities
• High security and compliance requirements in an international context
• Minimal downtime allowed – operations could not be disrupted

At the same time, the company wanted to reduce the burden on its internal IT department, cut down on recurring maintenance tasks and better exploit the potential for modern digital collaboration.

Together with catworkx, the company decided to switch to the Atlassian Cloud – and thus make a long-term investment in scalability and innovation.

The project approach:

• Enterprise Cloud architecture: Centralised control across multiple sites, ideal for subsidiaries
• Reduced IT workload: Updates, maintenance and security provided by Atlassian – no more internal effort
• Supported migration: Comprehensive preparation, test scenarios and clear role definitions
• Transparent communication: Closely coordinated user information and change communication.

catworkx provided a well-coordinated team with a technical lead, an organisational project manager and consultants – with Atlassian expertise, but also with extensive experience in dealing with complex corporate structures.

The migration went according to plan – partly because obstacles were addressed early on.

Today, the company benefits from:

• significantly reduced maintenance costs
• uniform security standards
• more flexible organisation of subsidiaries
• more freedom for further development of processes

By reducing the burden on IT, the company can now focus more on strategic digitalisation projects – with a platform that grows with it.

Even after the successful transition, the journey continues for the company: catworkx supports the company in the further development of its digital collaboration – from new cloud functions to process optimisation.

The cloud is not only the technological basis, but also an enabler for agile working, international collaboration and continuous innovation.
