Smooth Migration Your Jira Data Center to Jira Cloud with Sync
Atlassian has made its direction simple: the future is Cloud-first. But for large organizations with complex Jira environments, migrating from Jira Data Center to Jira Cloud isn’t a single-step process.
Most enterprise migrations happen in phases - some teams move ahead, others remain in Jira Data Center due to compliance, dependencies, or unfinished workflows. This overlap period, when both systems are running side by side, can last weeks or even months.
And during that time, the risks start to pile up:
- Duplicate tickets and work
- Missed updates or lost information
- Fragmented reporting and limited visibility
Why the Overlap Phase Needs Extra Attention
This transitional period is often underestimated. While the initial move and go-live dates get most of the planning, it's the parallel phase that causes the most confusion. Teams work in silos, systems drift out of sync, and important updates can fall through the cracks. That’s where Getint can help.
Getint’s Role in Cloud Migration
Getint offers a Jira-to-Jira integration that keeps Jira Data Center and Jira Cloud synchronized during migration. It’s not a replacement for Atlassian’s Cloud Migration Assistant - it complements it.
With Getint, both environments stay in sync while the migration is still in progress:
- Keep tickets, statuses, comments, attachments, and assignees aligned
- Ensure updates in one platform are reflected in the other (almost in real-time)
- Maintain collaboration across teams, even if they’re working in different Jira instances
This approach helps organizations avoid duplication, confusion, or delays. You get a single source of truth, even across two platforms.
Post-Migration: Don’t Forget the Integration Layer
Many organizations use Jira as a central hub for other tools. After moving to Jira Cloud, those integrations often need to be rebuilt.
Getint helps here, too. With our platform, you can reconnect Jira Cloud to tools like:
- ServiceNow
- Azure DevOps
- GitLab, GitHub
- Salesforce
- and many more
All without custom scripts or brittle workarounds.
Why Syncing Jira-to-Jira Still Matters After “Migration Day”
Even after moving to Jira Cloud, your Jira Data Center instance may still serve a purpose:
- Teams may need to close out old projects
- Historical data must remain accessible for audits
- Some legacy workflows might still be active
Without sync, critical information might not flow where it needs to. A bug logged in Jira Cloud might not be seen by a team still working in the Jira Data Center. That’s when misalignment becomes costly. With Getint, you don’t have to choose between speed and safety, you can have both.
