Atlassian Joins Forces with Google Cloud For Multi-Cloud Strategy & AI Collaboration
Atlassian has announced a new partnership with Google Cloud, a significant step in building a multi-cloud infrastructure for its customers. This collaboration will see Atlassian's core applications, including Jira, Confluence, and Loom, run not only on Amazon Web Services (AWS), but now also on Google Cloud. This strategic move enables Atlassian to further strengthen its platform and meet the demands of large and complex organizations worldwide. The multi-cloud strategy focuses on increasing resiliency, security, and scalability. Google Cloud customers will have the option to purchase Atlassian cloud applications directly through the Google Cloud Marketplace using their existing spend commitments to simplify procurement. The collaboration goes beyond infrastructure. Atlassian and Google Cloud will develop powerful product integrations, with a strong focus on artificial intelligence (AI). Deepening this integration will lay the foundation for smarter workflows and more powerful AI-powered collaboration. Atlassian's platform, already used by over 300,000 customers, is characterized by its unique Teamwork Graph. This system connects teams, data, and workflows, enabling AI-powered collaboration and breaking down knowledge silos across organizations. With 2.3 million users already using Atlassian AI, the company is committed to further accelerating AI adoption. This is evident in the rapid delivery of new capabilities, such as AI-powered app Rovo, shipped in just six months. Major enterprises like Air France-KLM and Mercedes-Benz rely on Atlassian Cloud for their digital transformation. After upgrading to Atlassian Cloud, Nestlé is experiencing the benefits of automatic maintenance and security fixes as well as streamlined workflows in Jira and Confluence. Their teams now have 60% more time for high-value work. New engineers are onboarding 90% quicker and deploying process and configuration changes 75% faster—all while enjoying 99.95% uptime. Atlassian underscores that its investment in the partnership with Google Cloud is the next step in setting a new global standard for secure, scalable, and intelligent collaboration in the cloud. 'Cloud is a 'when,' not an 'if,'' says Atlassian, which is committed to accelerating every customer's cloud journey.
