Case Study: Cisco achieves 54% lower tooling costs with Atlassian cloud

Cisco halves TCO and cuts tooling spend 54% with Atlassian

Cisco, a major networking company, faced challenges with fragmented legacy systems, data silos, and high operational costs after decades of growth. This environment, consisting of over 75 different tools and instances, hindered collaboration and visibility. They partnered with Atlassian to modernize and standardize their ways of working.

The solution involved migrating these disparate systems to a unified Atlassian cloud platform, including Jira and Confluence, with support from Atlassian Advisory Services. This consolidation resulted in a 54% reduction in annual tooling costs and allowed Cisco to reinvest 40% of its operational expenses back into the business. The migration also led to exponential time savings, such as making some reporting processes 40 times faster with Atlassian Rovo.
