Case Study: Mercedes‑Benz achieves zero server maintenance and improved performance with Atlassian Confluence

Mercedes-Benz drives innovation on the low-maintenance, high-performance Atlassian cloud platform

Mercedes‑Benz, a leading global automotive manufacturer, faced a major IT challenge: their Atlassian tools on Data Center required a large team to handle server maintenance, updates, and availability checks, tying up resources and limiting scalability while security and compliance needs remained paramount.

They migrated over 30,000 users (about 1,000 Jira projects and 1,500 Confluence spaces) to Atlassian cloud in phased waves with Atlassian support, eliminating server maintenance, improving performance and uptime, enabling self‑service and automation, and shrinking the platform team from roughly 80 to 15—freeing staff to focus on higher‑value work and better service.
