The Challenge

Cambia Health Solutions, a leader in healthcare innovation for over a century, faced a pivotal moment. With Atlassian Server reaching end-of-life, Cambia needed to transition to the cloud—but with HIPAA compliance as a non-negotiable requirement, the migration posed significant challenges.

Beyond compliance, Cambia sought:

  • A seamless migration for over 700 users from Atlassian Server to the cloud.
  • Stronger portfolio-level reporting through standardized workflows.
  • A scalable enterprise support model to serve 2,000 users efficiently.

They turned to Oxalis, a trusted expert in regulated industries, to lead the transformation.

The Oxalis Approach

Oxalis designed a strategic, phased migration to ensure security, efficiency, and minimal disruption.

Knowledge & Change Management: As teams transitioned, Oxalis helped build a robust Atlassian Knowledge Base, ensuring long-term adoption and self-sufficiency.

Enterprise Standard Workflows & Best Practices: We conducted a deep analysis of Cambia’s existing workflows, defining standardized Jira configurations that balanced structure with team flexibility.

HIPAA-Ready Security Architecture: Our team integrated Azure AD with Atlassian Access, meeting Cambia’s stringent InfoSec requirements while reinforcing compliance safeguards.

A Cohort-Based Migration Strategy: Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we rolled out migration waves tailored to each team’s priorities. Continuous feedback from each phase informed improvements for the next.

The Outcome

Cambia achieved a seamless, secure, and scalable cloud transition with measurable benefits:

Full Migration & Consolidation: 147 Rally workspaces successfully migrated to Jira Software Cloud, benefiting 700+ users.
HIPAA Compliance Maintained: Patient and sensitive health information remained fully protected.
Stronger Reporting & Insights: Standardized issue structures improved portfolio-level visibility across teams.
Streamlined Workflows: Agile teams gained greater efficiency and consistency, enabling faster project execution.

“I cannot speak highly enough of our external partner, Oxalis. Oxalis has been nothing short of top-notch — from a level of professionalism to a trusted Atlassian advisor, to a well-organized project team with great communication, and especially down to their personable, responsive project team members. I only half-joke when I say that the cutover plan for Phase One migration is a work of art. Thank you, Oxalis.”
