Atlassian’s Jira Service Management software and the battle between the Data Center and Cloud platforms. Join us as we explore the key differences between these two platforms and how they affect workflows and SLA achievement and resolution time. We also discuss the use of dashboards to visualize workflows and track progress. Our guest speaker shares their experiences with Cherwell and Ivanti platforms and the challenges they faced with multiple teams running influence or service requests. We learn about the negotiations required to establish a common set of fields for all teams and the role of the administrator in configuring exception settings based on ticket types and ownership. Discover how Atlassian’s implementation approach saved our speaker time and effort by allowing each team to customize their workflows and fields according to their needs. We also explore the two editions of the Atlassian platform, the data center edition for on-premises use and the cloud-based solution tailored specifically for the cloud. Learn about the seamless upgrades offered by the containerized architecture of the cloud edition, eliminating worries about any impacts. Don’t miss out on our exciting demonstration focused on the Cloud edition of Atlassian’s software.
