Migrating thousands of users and deeply embedded workflows to the cloud is no small feat — especially when strict compliance requirements are non-negotiable. In this session, Utpal Pandya, Director of Global Engineering Services at Qualcomm, shares a candid, firsthand account of how Qualcomm successfully migrated from Data Center to Cloud with the support of Atlassian's FastShift program.

Designed to help enterprises move faster and with greater confidence, Atlassian FastShift provided Qualcomm with the expert guidance, structured framework, and hands-on support needed to navigate this complex migration. From early planning and stakeholder alignment to large-scale execution, the FastShift team played a pivotal role in de-risking the migration, accelerating timelines, and ensuring continuity across deeply integrated workflows — all while meeting stringent compliance requirements.

Utpal walks through the real-world strategies that drove success, the obstacles encountered along the way, and the critical lessons learned that can help others navigate similar transformations.

Key takeaways:

•  Benefits of building a phased migration approach using FastShift’s structured framework, tooling, and hands‑on support to accelerate migration timelines and adoption.
• Establishing governance requirements and compliance controls to de-risk each migration phase.
• Driving change management tactics and post-migration support that sustains user adoption and confidence.
