Trends you need to know from the 2019 Atlassian Summit
Over 17 years ago, Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar founded Atlassian with the mission of unleashing the potential of teams everywhere. This year’s summit brought together 4,000 Atlassian Community customers and partners who share the mission of supporting teams to do their best work.
The team from EduBrite was there to be a part of all of the exciting events. On the first day of the Summit, Partner Day, we interacted with various solution partners and marketplace vendors. It turned out to be a great opportunity to learn from and share experiences with other providers within the Atlassian Community
Once the expo hall opened, EduBrite had the opportunity to meet the enthusiastic and curious conference attendees. We showcased EduBrite LMS and our integration with Confluence and Jira service desk- including a sneak peek at some soon to be announced features. The people we spoke with were so excited to learn that they could use EduBrite’s LMS App for Jira Service desk to deflect support issues. The interest was phenomenal.
We were also excited to share the news with conference goers that EduBrite has successfully completed the Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type 1 audit. The announcement came in just as our team headed to the Atlassian Summit. The SOC Audit shows our commitment to building trust with our customers by maintaining the highest security standards.
The team also added a little fun to the event by hosting a conference giveaway for a chance to win one of three pairs of Apple urBeats 3. Congratulations to Danielle Shuffler from McCarthy, Koen Gillard and Meagan Griffin from Milwaukee Electronics!
