Atlassian Consolidation for Zoopla
Zoopla, one of the UK largest property websites that attracts over 40 million visitors per month, had been performing brilliantly enabling them to grow and acquire some new companies such as, PSG, Alto, Jupix and MoveIt. These digital companies had in-house software development teams who used Atlassian tools to enable their Agile way of working.
Zoopla wanted the benefits of bringing these additional teams into the fold without impacting productivity, as multiple instances of Jira and Confluence were hindering collaboration, making it harder to augment with the teams from the new acquisitions. Further problems included duplicated operational, license and maintenance costs.
The situation
TBD
The solution
Zoopla had previously worked with Catapult CX and reached out for advice. Catapult CX reviewed all Jira and Confluence instances across the organisations and devised a plan to migrate the companies into the strategic Zoopla Atlassian cloud account.
Using their proven approach and automation tool, Catapult CX merged the companies and their associated data one-by-one, in a series of phased migrations.
Catapult CX also reviewed Zoopla's licence requirements and moved them onto a single annual cloud subscription.
The results
The phased approach reduced risk and minimised the impact on users and the day-to-day running of the business. Each team were able to login to the strategic instance the next morning, see their stories and carry on working.
The teams in the migrated organisations were now able to plan and collaborate together and manage dependencies with their existing teams, which increased velocity.
The reduced management overhead and licence consolidation led to a cost saving of $54k.
