Efecte ITSM: Stay on-prem when Jira support ends

Keep your IT service management on-premises after Jira Service Management Server support ends. Efecte ITSM stays on-prem for as long as you want, with easy migration to Efecte Cloud when you’re ready. 

Get ready for Jira Service Management Server
end of life

If you’re running Jira Service Management on-premises today, the clock is ticking. New licenses and upgrades/downgrades have already been discontinued, and support for all Atlassian Server products - including Jira Service Management Server - will end completely on February 15, 2024.

Your IT service desk faces a choice: move to Jira Cloud and see your data moved into the AWS public cloud, or keep service management in your own datacenter with an alternative ITSM platform.

Efecte ITSM: The European alternative to Jira

If it’s important for you to stay on-premises, Efecte IT Service Management (Efecte ITSM) could be the ideal solution.  

As the friendly European alternative to the global ITSM giants, Efecte is the IT service management platform of choice for over 300 organizations across Europe.

Total flexibility means you can deploy Efecte ITSM any way you prefer: in your own datacenter, in a third-party private cloud, or in Efecte Cloud. And unlike some ITSM solutions, you can move easily when you need to.

Plan a best-practice migration from JIRA to Efecte

Migrating from JIRA Service Management Server to Efecte ITSM is easier when you have a solid plan. Download our Migration Guide for insight into these key planning and migration considerations: 

Managing change

Keep people up-to-date and onside before, during and after the migration—and make sure everyone is trained and ready to go at the switchover. 

Reviewing processes

Migration is a key opportunity to review your current IT service management processes and decide which you want to replicate in the new environment, and which could benefit from a redesign.

Migrating data

You may not need to bring all of your legacy data over into the new ITSM environment. Deciding what data you need to bring over, and what you can safely archive, can make a big difference.

Exploring features

The aim of your migration may be to replicate the Jira environment as closely as possible, especially if it’s a forced move from an end-of-life platform. But Efecte ITSM has many other features that can help your team, so it’s worth taking time to explore what’s available and how it could work for you.
