Case Study: Software AG achieves stronger security and faster innovation with Atlassian Confluence

Germany’s Software AG strengthens security and fosters innovation with Atlassian Cloud products

Software AG, a Germany‑based software pioneer, faced rising costs, limited speed and availability, and increasing security and compliance complexity from its on‑premise tools. After a ransomware attack accelerated a cloud‑first decision, the company needed a solution that met strict EU requirements while supporting growth and innovation.

Partnering with Atlassian and solution partner Brainbits, Software AG rolled out Jira Software, Jira Service Management, Confluence Cloud and Atlassian Access using an iterative, training‑led approach and multiple segregated instances. The move cut maintenance overhead, strengthened identity and access controls (integrated with Azure AD), enabled over 200 Jira projects and enterprise service management foundations, and is helping thousands of employees across dozens of locations innovate more securely and scale faster.
