ATLASSIAN

Does Jira make Project management Easier? Is Confluence the new Wikipedia? Atlassian is taking over the corporate world. Read why.

Atlassian Corporation Plc (/ətˈlæsiən/) is an Australian software company that develops products for software developers, project managers and other software development teams.

History

Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar founded Atlassian in 2002. 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.

The name is an ad hoc derivation from the titan Atlas in Greek mythology who had been punished to hold up the Heavens after the Greek gods had overthrown the Titans. (The usual form of the word is Atlantean.) The derivation was reflected in the company's logo used from 2011 through to the 2017 re-branding through a blue X-shaped figure holding up what is shown to be the bottom of the sky.

Atlassian released its flagship product, Jira – a project and issue tracker, in 2002.[8] 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 July 2010, Atlassian raised $60 million in venture capital from Accel Partners.

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

In a 2014 restructuring, the parent company became Atlassian Corporation PLC of the UK, with a registered address in London—though the actual headquarters remained in Sydney.

Atlassian has nine offices in six countries: Amsterdam, Austin, New York, San Francisco and Mountain View, California,[13] Manila, Yokohama, Bangalore, and Sydney.
