## Challenge

BlackBerry’s self-hosted Jira instances were fragmented, outdated, and highly customized, leading to security risks, inefficiencies, and high maintenance efforts.

## Solution

Appnovation analyzed BlackBerry’s infrastructure and migrated its Jira instances to the Long-Term Support (LTS) version of Jira Data Center, consolidating four instances into a more streamlined architecture.

## Impact

The migration improved system reliability, security, and compliance while reducing costs, simplifying operations, and enhancing team productivity.

## Challenge

BlackBerry faced significant challenges with its self-hosted Jira server instances, which were fragmented across different teams and running on outdated, unsupported versions. The instances had highly complex workflows, extensive customizations, and had to meet stringent compliance and operational standards. This led to increased maintenance efforts, heightened security risks, and inefficiencies in collaboration across teams.

## Solution

Appnovation initiated a thorough analysis of BlackBerry’s infrastructure, network, custom scripts, and integrations during the Analysis and Solution Design phase. We recommended migrating to the Long-Term Support (LTS) version of Jira Data Center to provide stability, security, and continued support from [Atlassian](/services/atlassian.md). Additionally, we proposed a consolidation strategy to reduce BlackBerry’s four Jira instances into a more streamlined architecture, offering detailed cost-saving projections and improved operational efficiency.

## Impact

Appnovation successfully developed and executed a comprehensive migration plan for each of BlackBerry's Jira instances to the LTS version of Jira Data Center. This consolidation not only enhanced system reliability and security but also simplified operations, reduced maintenance overhead, and ensured compliance with industry best practices. The migration positioned BlackBerry for scalable growth, providing them with a unified, supported Jira environment that significantly cut costs and boosted team productivity.
