Atlassian’s recent Ascend announcement underscores a clear direction: Customers will be required to migrate to Atlassian Cloud. For some organizations, this may seem like a natural next step, but for many enterprises (particularly those operating in highly regulated industries), forced cloud adoption raises new concerns.
Organizations in sectors like financial services, government, and healthcare face strict compliance obligations. Moving sensitive data to a SaaS environment can introduce risk, reduce control, and create additional audit burdens. While Atlassian is eliminating choice, Broadcom Rally continues to offer a robust on-premises solution that ensures organizations retain complete control of their data and systems. For companies where security and compliance are paramount, Rally provides the assurance that Atlassian can no longer deliver.
We understand that enterprises cannot afford to disrupt their teams’ day-to-day work in the name of a vendor’s business model change. Rally offers the flexibility to operate securely on premises or in the cloud, allowing organizations to decide what’s best for them, not the other way around.
For organizations already running Atlassian tools, migration doesn’t need to be disruptive. With ConnectALL, we simplify the transition by enabling seamless data migration into Rally. Teams can bring their history and work context with them, ensuring continuity while moving forward. The result is minimal downtime, reduced change management headaches, and a faster path to value.
Customers that transition to Rally gain more than just security and deployment flexibility. Rally is purpose-built for scaling agile practices across the enterprise, with capabilities like advanced portfolio planning, cross-team visibility, and integrated value stream management. Unlike Atlassian, Rally provides a unified environment that connects strategy with execution, helps organizations prioritize investments, and delivers measurable business outcomes. The result is not only greater confidence in security and compliance, but also a stronger foundation for scaling agility.
Atlassian’s shift highlights a fundamental difference in philosophy: they are removing options, while we are committed to meeting customers where they are. If your organization is grappling with what Atlassian Ascend means for you, now is the time to explore alternatives that align with your security, compliance, and operational needs.
