Understanding the Jira server support end
The impending Jira Server support end in 2024 presents a pivotal moment for many technology teams. Atlassian has encouraged users to transition towards either the Jira Cloud or Jira Data Center. However, this move may not suit every organisation due to potential changes in cost and compliance requirements compared to on-premises options.
Exploring on-premises alternatives
Organisations that prefer maintaining control over their data can explore alternatives such as Easy Redmine, a leading on-premises solution. As the #1 Redmine upgrade for growing teams, Easy Redmine ensures EU compliance and offers the security benefits of a local server setup. It seamlessly integrates project management needs with a focus on enhanced security and performance, crucial for projects involving sensitive information.
The role of a WorkOps platform

This approach creates an ecosystem of work that caters to the dynamic requirements of technology-driven teams, providing tools that support both project management and comprehensive operations workflows.
