Case Study: Voith Group achieves future-ready, low-maintenance cloud collaboration with Atlassian Confluence

Continuity, the modern way Voith migrates to the cloud

Voith is a 155-year-old global engineering and technology company headquartered in Heidenheim, Germany, with more than 21,000 employees across 60+ countries. Having relied on on‑premises Jira and Confluence for over a decade, the company faced expiring server licenses, frequent patching burdens and a need to become future‑ready while keeping disruption for users and customers to a minimum.

With support from Atlassian and solution partner veniture, Voith ran a pre-analysis and test migration and completed a six‑month cloud migration (Mar–Sep 2022); veniture handled the technical move while Voith cleaned data and adapted processes. The result: modern cloud‑based Jira and Confluence that require less maintenance, preserve user workflows, resolved add‑on issues with suitable replacements, eliminated the need for a backup server, and achieved high user acceptance.
