How CM secured its new Atlassian Cloud with Azure Entra ID

CM, a Belgian health insurer, migrated its Atlassian environment from Data Center to Cloud, with integration into Azure Entra ID as a requirement. The technical integration through Atlassian Guard was easy to set up. The real challenge was operational: deciding in which platform licences, groups and permissions are managed. ACA Group listed the decisions to make, guided and advised CM, and made sure all stakeholders were informed and aligned. The result: licences managed in Azure Entra ID, permissions in Atlassian groups, and an enterprise-grade identity and security solution with clearly defined roles and responsibilities.

How Stellantis moved 150.000 Jira issues to the cloud, without downtime

When Stellantis  inherited an outdated Jira Server environment, simply moving everything to the cloud was not the answer. Years of duplicate fields, inconsistent workflows and legacy configuration would have moved with it. They wanted something better: a clean Jira Cloud environment without losing years of valuable history or disrupting its teams.

Together with ACA Group and Exalate, Stellantis migrated around 150.000 Jira issues in just 25 days, while cleaning up and restructuring its data along the way.
