## Challenge

Guidewire faced significant challenges organizing their teams within product development and professional services due to their fragmented Jira system. They needed to consolidate over 20 Jira instances into a unified solution, integrating both Jira Cloud and Jira On-Premise platforms.

## Solution

Appnovation implemented a robust Jira solution by setting up new instances, including a state-of-the-art Jira Data Center and configuring the data center connection. To ensure a seamless transition, we conducted comprehensive on-site discovery sessions with key stakeholders. These sessions enabled us to meticulously plan and execute the migration of issues, workflows, fields, and permissions, ensuring no disruption to ongoing operations. Our approach guaranteed a smooth integration, empowering Guidewire to achieve greater efficiency and streamlined project management.

## Result

By consolidating multiple Jira instances, Guidewire achieved a more efficient and less complex Jira system, increasing efficiency for employees. The consolidation by Appnovation enhanced application stability and streamlined maintenance processes. Additionally, each business unit’s processes within Jira are now aligned with Atlassian and industry best practices, ensuring optimal performance and standardization across the organization.
