Case Study: Celonis achieves faster scaling and stronger security with Jira Software Cloud

Celonis scales from startup to $10B+ by deploying faster, collaborating efficiently, and maintaining security with Jira Cloud Enterprise

Celonis, a process‑mining pioneer and rare “decacorn” valued over $10 billion, was struggling to scale its on‑premise Jira during rapid global growth and under strict EU data regulations. The Engineering team faced heavy maintenance overhead from VPNs, data residency controls, and server administration that distracted them from innovation and product work.

Working with solution partner venITure and Atlassian, Celonis executed a lift‑and‑shift migration to Jira Software Cloud after three months of planning and testing; the final move—covering 180+ projects and almost 300 workflows—completed in about ten hours. Post‑migration the company gained faster deployments, improved collaboration and reliability, centralized governance and automatic updates, maintained strong security, and freed engineering to focus on productivity and innovation.
