Case Study: OG Systems achieves secure, real-time collaboration across a distributed workforce with Jira Software

OGS prioritizes secure communication with Hipchat

OGSystems (OGS) is a Chantilly, VA–based systems integrator serving the Department of Defense, the Intelligence Community, and commercial clients, where security is paramount. With employees distributed across the U.S. and previously using Microsoft Lync and GChat, OGS needed a single, secure, on‑premises real‑time collaboration platform to standardize communication and support field staff.

OGS adopted Hipchat alongside its existing Atlassian stack (Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, Bamboo), enabling secure desktop, web and mobile chat, screen‑sharing and video. Tight integrations and single sign‑on brought notifications and workflow visibility into one place, cutting down email, speeding issue resolution, improving remote demos for consultants, and keeping dispersed teams connected.
