However, as the complexity of software systems grows, so does the need for effective system administration. That’s where managed services come in.
In this blog, we will outline the most common Atlassian system administration challenges and the services, benefits and outcomes of working with a managed services provider (MSP) like ServiceRocket. To get started, let's explore the top three challenges of managing an Atlassian stack.
With businesses and priorities ever-changing, tools constantly evolving and the staffing challenges these entail, there is a hidden cost of ownership. The investments of money and time take valuable resources from your vision.
An article by BusinessWire on the Atlassian ecosystem identified that 70% of the respondents cited integrating Atlassian with third-party applications as their top challenge in their effort to create a seamless experience for their users.
The 2021 State of Atlassian report identified that while adoption has improved, 45% felt they lacked automation capabilities and-adequate skills. Additionally, 39% felt that a lack of budget was the main barrier to user adoption.
If you're looking to overcome these challenges, managed services can be a great option. By providing end-to-end system administration, managed services help resolve each of the challenges mentioned above and more.

By partnering with an MSP, organizations can benefit from a range of services designed to help them optimize their technology infrastructure and applications while reducing the burden on their internal staff and focusing on their core product and vision.
