The Cloud Migration of VR Payment
As a long-standing customer of Jira and Confluence in their Server versions, VR Payment GmbH has successfully migrated to the Atlassian Cloud with the support of Seibert Solutions.
“No matter which project – it always worked smoothly.”
Andreas Schmidt | VR Payment
In Brief
VR Payment
Before the end of Atlassian’s Server products, VR Payment faced the decision of how to operate their existing Jira and Confluence systems going forward. After a comprehensive analysis, they chose to migrate to the Atlassian Cloud, accompanied by consulting, preparation, testing and implementation. Today the teams use a scalable cloud platform that meets compliance requirements and can be flexibly extended with additional features.

A strong Atlassian partner
for payment service providers and the finance industry
VR Payment migrated to the Atlassian Cloud as early as 2022 with the support of Seibert Solutions and uses Jira Cloud and Confluence Cloud there with approximately 500 users. The systems support the company in structured mapping of work processes and internal collaboration.
VR Payment, data protection and cloud: a working trio?
Companies have individual needs and diverse requirements for the software systems they use. Before a migration, it must therefore be verified whether these requirements can be met in the cloud at all. For VR Payment, the topic of data protection turned out to be enormously important – which is not surprising, as the payment processor operates with a banking license and must satisfy BaFin requirements.
Data protection
All relevant data protection requirements are met.
Data residency
All data is stored within Europe.
Compliance
The cloud meets the BaFin requirements relevant to VR Payment.
More than just moving to the cloud
Consulting and structured implementation at VR Payment
Beyond the planning and technical execution of the migration, the project focused on specific consulting areas. Data protection and user training were particularly central aspects.
How the cloud migration went
Consulting and analysis
Consulting and analysis
Together with the customer, Seibert’s experts first evaluated which cloud license with which feature scope is best suited for VR Payment and can most effectively meet the high data protection requirements as a financial services provider. In the second step, the existing instances with their data and usage patterns were analyzed to determine how much time the preparation and execution of the migration would require.
Test migration
Test migration
A test migration was carried out as part of the cloud trial, which provided insight into what options the migration assistant offers and where particular attention is required. This test run showed that no major obstacles were to be expected during the actual migration.
Detailed migration planning
Detailed migration planning
The migration was prepared in the form of a concrete project plan. In particular, it was specified which work needed to be carried out manually and which tasks could be left to the automatic migration assistant. This plan was then worked through step by step in a structured manner.
A scalable, compliance-compliant solution
A scalable, compliance-compliant solution
After the successful migration of the existing systems with their data, VR Payment can access a smoothly scalable, data protection-compliant cloud solution that the customer’s teams quickly got to grips with. Particularly exciting are the numerous new features in the cloud and the straightforward centralized user administration.
