Sound familiar?

Three patterns show up in every Forge assessment we run.
If any of these is yours, the rest of this page is for you.
THE 80% APP

The marketplace app does 80%. The rest is work-arounds.

Custom scripts, manual JSON imports, and a Confluence page nobody updates. Every quarter, the gap between the marketplace app and the actual workflow widens.
THE CONNECT REVIEW

Every release of your Connect app dies in security review for three weeks.

Your team built it. Your team hosts it. Your team owns the compliance burden. Every release re-litigates the same security questions.
THE PTO RISK

One person built the script that holds it together. That person has PTO next week.

The integration works. Nobody else can read the code. The Slack ping when it breaks goes to a single Gmail address. The risk is invisible until it isn’t.

What changes after the Forge build.

They become properties of the platform.

Your users stop noticing.

Your users stop noticing.

Forge apps run inside Atlassian. Same UI. Same permissions. Same data residency. Indistinguishable from native. The training email you used to send for every release stops being necessary.

Security review stops being a project.

Security review stops being a project.

SOC 2, GDPR, and your internal policies are in the runtime. Teams that used to lose three weeks per release clear review on the first pass. Compliance is inherited, not built.

The timeline shrinks.

The timeline shrinks.

Rapid Deploy methodology. Fixed scope. Defined timeline. Four-to-eight weeks from kickoff to production. The same engagement on Connect runs four to eight months.

The 2 am pages stop.

The 2 am pages stop.

One Atlassian-managed runtime replaces your fragile APIs, aging Connect apps, and undocumented scripts. Atlassian patches the platform. Your team patches their logic. Nothing else needs patching.

Your app inherits Atlassian's compliance posture.

Forge runs inside Atlassian’s FedRAMP-authorized, SOC 2-certified cloud infrastructure. Three properties your team does not have to build:

Sandboxed runtime

Data stays inside Atlassian’s trust boundary.
Your app’s code runs in Atlassian’s runtime. No data leaves the platform. Compliance review reads the platform’s posture, not yours.

Scoped Permissions

Granular access set in the manifest.
Permissions declared in the manifest. Atlassian enforces them. Users grant scopes during install. No over-broad service accounts.

Atlassian-Managed updates

Platform patches, you ship logic.
Atlassian patches the platform. Your team ships the business logic. The ‘security update from 2023’ problem stops being yours.

  • KNOW YOUR OPTIONS

Heads-up on cost of ownership.

Three ways to extend Atlassian. Five dimensions that decide the bill in year two.
Forge is not always the answer. But when it is, the gap between Forge and the alternatives is not close.

Scope and price you see before you sign.

Every engagement is fixed scope and defined timeline. You see what you’re committing to before you sign.

STORY

4M+ songs administered. 1,500 hours saved every year.

Sony Music Publishing, the world’s number one music publishing company, replaced an email-and-spreadsheet intake process with an enterprise service management platform built on Jira Service Management. Trundl served as Solution Partner. The Global Copyright Administration team now runs publishing data intake from 35 global affiliate offices through a single service desk, and the model has spread across the business.
