Selling to large enterprises means navigating complex IT ecosystems, compliance frameworks, and multiple decision-makers. CIOs and IT leaders are expected to deliver not just operational efficiency, but measurable business impact.
In today’s environment of tighter budgets and heightened scrutiny, quantifiable data matters more than ever. Enterprise technology leaders need tangible proof of business value before committing to any major platform shift — especially one as foundational as moving to the cloud.
That’s where the Forrester Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study becomes an essential benchmark. The study provides a data-driven framework for understanding the measurable ROI of adopting Atlassian Cloud Enterprise, quantifying not only cost savings but also productivity gains, risk reduction, and improved business agility.
Understanding the Shift: From On-Premise Complexity to Cloud Agility
Large organizations that have historically relied on Data Center or Server deployments are now realizing that the operational overhead — patching, upgrades, and compliance — consumes both time and skilled resources.
Atlassian Cloud Enterprise eliminates these pain points by centralizing operations, enhancing governance, and providing instant scalability.
Key advantages include:
- Enterprise-grade security & compliance (SOC2, ISO, GDPR, HIPAA)
- Centralized user management across global teams
- Uptime SLA of 99.95% for business continuity
- Scalability across multiple instances and geographies
- Built-in Guard Standard for security and compliance
- Unified data and analytics with Atlassian Data Lake
For leadership, the move isn’t just about IT modernization — it’s about aligning technology infrastructure to business agility, resilience, and measurable ROI.
The Enterprise Challenge: Why Cloud Decisions Are Data-Driven
For enterprises, cloud transformation is not just a technical decision — it’s a financial and operational one. CIOs need to answer critical questions:
- What is the real ROI of moving to Atlassian Cloud?
- How much can we save on infrastructure and maintenance?
- What will be the impact on user productivity and governance efficiency?
- How does the shift mitigate risk, compliance gaps, and downtime?
The move to cloud must therefore be backed by measurable outcomes — ones that align with strategic goals like faster time to market, improved customer experience, and operational resilience. Quantifying these outcomes is where frameworks like Forrester’s Total Economic Impact™ become crucial.
The Economic Impact
As per the Forrester TEI study on Atlassian Cloud Enterprise quantified the value realized by enterprises across four key dimensions:
- Time Savings on Administration and Maintenance
- 50% reduction in time spent on tool management, patching, and upgrades.
- Freed-up admin capacity redirected to innovation and strategic initiatives.
- Faster Time-to-Market
- Teams experienced up to 25% faster delivery cycles through improved collaboration and visibility.
- Reduced Infrastructure Costs
- Elimination of on-prem hardware and maintenance costs resulted in over 30% total cost reduction.
- Improved Risk Management and Compliance
- Built-in compliance and data residency controls reduced audit preparation time and minimized business risk exposure.
Together, these benefits translate into a 241% ROI over three years, according to Forrester — a powerful benchmark for enterprise decision-makers evaluating modernization initiatives.
