8 Months of Work Done in 6 Weeks: Hiltermann Lease’s Azure DevOps to Jira Migration Story
The Challenge: Merging Azure DevOps with Jira - and Regaining Control Over Projects
Hiltermann Lease, a leading leasing company from the Netherlands, had a familiar challenge. Like many growing organizations, their teams were split between two platforms: Azure DevOps and Jira. Some project teams were working in Jira, while others stayed in Azure DevOps.
The result? Limited visibility, misaligned processes, and a lot of time wasted manually tracking projects in spreadsheets just to create reports.
As Roeland Möller, Application Manager at Hiltermann Lease, shared:
“Some projects influenced the others - but we didn’t have insight into how everything connected. We spent a lot of time using Excel to track progress, but that wasn’t scalable or sustainable for us.”
The Solution: Why Getint?
Roeland and his team knew migrating to a single platform was essential. They wanted Jira to become their single source of truth. But the migration had to be fast, user-friendly, and flexible - especially since every Azure DevOps project was set up differently.
They tested 3 or 4 tools, including TFS4JIRA, but most were too complex or rigid.
“What convinced me about Getint was its user-friendliness. I didn’t need a manual to get started. The field mapping, configuration, and flexibility - it just worked.” - Roeland Möller
With Getint, Roeland was able to:
- Easily map fields between Azure DevOps and Jira
- Adjust configurations per project
- Handle exceptions and customizations without hassle
- Track synchronization status and troubleshoot in real-time
The Result: 8 Months of Work Done in Just 6 Weeks
What normally would have taken months was completed in record time.
“Before Getint, migrating one team took about a month. With Getint, I migrated 7 or 8 teams in just 6 weeks. That’s incredible!”
What changed?
- Faster time-to-value
- Elimination of manual work
- Seamless synchronization and migration
- A scalable setup ready for future needs (like supporting multiple Jira instances)
Bonus Win: Support That Feels Like a Premium Service
One thing that stood out for Roeland was Getint’s customer support.
“Whenever I had a question, I got an answer almost immediately. The support from Mayra and the team was fantastic - it felt like premium support.”
