Workzone Cloud Migration Success Story
Company Background: The customer is a leading financial institution that provides a wide range of financial solutions to clients worldwide. With a dedicated software development team, they heavily rely on version control systems to manage their codebase efficiently. For years, they used Bitbucket Server to host their repositories, but they realized the need for a more scalable and flexible solution.
The Challenge: The company as a whole decided to implement a Cloud first process that applied to all of their software teams as well.
Recognizing the benefits of cloud-based solutions, they decided to migrate their repositories from Bitbucket Server to Bitbucket Cloud. However, the prospect of migrating the extensive Workzone repository and project configurations, ensuring data integrity, and minimizing downtime posed significant challenges.
