Case Study: Be The Match achieves faster, more efficient bone marrow donor matching with Atlassian Confluence

Be The Match speeds up bone marrow donor matching with Atlassian

Be The Match, the nonprofit National Marrow Donor Program and operator of the world’s largest DNA registry with 10 million potential donors, builds software that connects matched donors to transplant centers. Before adopting Atlassian, its engineering teams relied on disparate homegrown and vendor tools, causing duplicated work and poor visibility across engineering, business owners, and leadership.

The organization implemented the full Atlassian stack—Jira to coordinate and track 20+ concurrent projects, Bitbucket to replace CVS/SVN with role-based access for HIPAA compliance, Bamboo for CI/CD, and Confluence for documentation—creating an integrated development platform. The unified toolset aligned teams across the US and Europe, sped up delivery, improved efficiency and quality, and helped Be The Match develop life‑saving applications that enhance donor matching.
