About Enterprise Trust Team

Atlassian's vision and mission are to get our cloud-ready for every customer. As part of that vision, we want our SaaS offerings to be ready and widely adopted by enterprise customers. Enterprise customers make up the majority of our paid users and revenue. Our company goal of 100 million MAU requires mass adoption of our products by knowledge workers, which means mass adoption of our products by enterprises. Over the last three years, the Enterprise Trust team has laid the foundation to support enterprise customers with new offerings. In the next three years, we want to accelerate that adoption further to make our cloud-ready for every customer a reality.

About Data Portability

Enterprise customers consider the capability to move large amounts of data within and outside their cloud site as a critical functionality for getting ready to use Atlassian’s cloud offerings. Data portability today consists of different mechanisms and customer-facing features that enable customers to manage their data effectively in the form of cloud-to-cloud offerings, backup restore, and other import/export capabilities. It is a crucial part of our cloud readiness story and continues to be one of the top asks for cloud adoption. As part of the Backup and Restore program, we are building the data platform and experience for our Enterprise customers, allowing them to effectively manage their cloud data and compliance needs by taking regular backups and timely restores in the event of a disaster. It also encompasses building and integrating capabilities over a centralized data portability platform built over Streaming technologies while creating a rich ecosystem of open developer Apis.
