Webinar | Is Your Migration Plan Ready? SpiraPlan: The Powerful On-Premise Alternative to Jira Data Center

3-Mar-2026 by Kendra Stansel

The clock is ticking on your data sovereignty. With the approaching End of Life for Jira Data Center, enterprises are facing a forced migration to the cloud—a transition that can take up to two years to execute correctly. Don't wait until the deadline to realize your compliance, budget, and workflows are at risk. Join us for this exclusive webinar to discover why SpiraPlan is the ultimate on-premise successor. Adam Sandman, Founder and CEO of Inflectra, and Louis Tadman, CTO of Merito, will show you how to bypass the trap of moving to cloud, eliminate the hidden costs of third-party plugins, and start your migration journey now so you’re not left behind when the lights go out.

The Mandatory Shift in Your Data Strategy

Atlassian’s move to a cloud-first model isn't just a technical update; it’s a fundamental shift in how you manage your data. Many organizations are realizing that migrating to the cloud isn't as simple as flipping a switch.

The Hard Truths:

  • The Timeline: Enterprise-grade migration and change management often take 12 to 24 months.

  • The Compliance Gap: For many industries, Jira Cloud doesn't meet the rigorous data sovereignty requirements that Data Center did.

  • The "Plugin Tax": Moving to Jira Cloud often means losing your favorite server-side apps or paying significantly more for their cloud equivalents.
