Atlassian /ətˈlæsiən/ is an enterprise software group of companies that develops products geared towards software developers and project managers. It is best known for its issue tracking application, JIRA, and its team collaboration product, Confluence. Atlassian serves over 50,000 customers globally, including 85 of the Fortune 100.

Atlassian was founded in Sydney, Australia. In a restructuring in 2014 the parent company became Atlassian Corporation Plc of the UK, with registered address in London. The group also has offices in Amsterdam, Austin, Manila, San Francisco, Sydney and Yokohama. As of September 2014, the group has over 1,148 employees, offices in 12 cities, over 40,000 customers and many millions of users. On February 14, 2014, Atlassian president Jay Simons announced the opening of an Austin office that will eventually employ 600 people.

History

Atlassian was founded in 2002 by Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar. The pair met while studying at the University of New South Wales in Sydney. They bootstrapped the company for several years, financing the startup with a $10,000 credit card debt. In July 2010, Atlassian raised $60 million in venture capital from Accel Partners.

In 2006, Cannon-Brookes and Farquhar were named Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneurs of the Year for Australia. The two also maintain an 87% GlassDoor rating.

In March 2011, the company raised $1 million for the charity Room to Read from sales of its $10 "Starter" licenses.

In February 2014, the company moved its headquarters from Sydney to London.

On 10 December 2015 Atlassian made its initial public offering (IPO) on the NASDAQ stock exchange at $21 per share, under the tick name TEAM, putting the market capitalization of Atlassian at $4.37B.

Revenue model

Atlassian does not have a traditional sales team. Instead, it lists all prices, information about products, documentation, support requests, and training materials on its website. The company does not offer discounts, with the exception of open source projects, academic and charity organizations. Most of their products are available as hosted or installed versions, starting at $10 for 10 licenses (pricing does not scale up linearly).

In 2011, Atlassian announced revenue of $102 million, up 35% from the year before.

For the June 2014 fiscal year, Atlassian reported $215 million in revenue, up from $144 million in the prior year.

In November 2015, Atlassian announced its plans to IPO on sales of $320 million.

Products and services

Atlassian provides developers and project managers with hosted or installed software falling into six categories:

• project and issue-tracking software
• collaboration and content sharing
• DVCS
• code quality
• addons
• training products

Atlassian released its flagship product, JIRA - a project and issue tracker, in 2002. In 2004, it released Confluence, a team collaboration platform that lets users work together on projects, co-create content, and share documents and other media assets.

In 2010, Atlassian acquired Bitbucket, a hosted service for code collaboration. In May 2012, the company launched a marketplace website where customers can download plug-ins for various Atlassian products. That year, Atlassian also released Stash, a Git repository for enterprises.

Additional products include Crucible, FishEye, Bamboo, and Clover, which target programmers working with a code base. FishEye, Crucible and Clover came into Atlassian's portfolio through the acquisition of another Australian software company, Cenqua in 2007. In 2012, Atlassian acquired HipChat, an instant messenger for workplace environments.

In 2013, Atlassian announced the launch of JIRA Service Desk, a service-desk product with full SLA support.

Employee motivation

Atlassian also began a now-popular tradition at software companies where software developers can spend 24 hours tackling any problem they like four times per year. Atlassian calls these ShipIt Days, though for years they were known as FedEx Days until FedEx asked for its name to be disassociated with the process.
