SPK and Associates, a 22-year-old leading woman-owned Engineering & IT Services Company that serves product and software development teams, is an official Atlassian Cloud Migration Specialized partner as of June 2025. After validation of SPK and Associates’ deep Atlassian experience with its Gold Solution Partner status, Atlassian also investigated several of its migrations from Server and Data Center products to Atlassian Cloud and concluded that SPK meets its Specialization requirements.
“Atlassian would like to acknowledge SPK and Associates for their exceptional effort, and demonstrating proven success in assisting customers with their upgrades to Atlassian Cloud,” stated Bill Hustad, Atlassian’s Head of Channel and GTM Ecosystems. “The Cloud Migration Specialization Program highlights the commitment of these Atlassian Partners, recognizing their efforts and dedication to providing consistent, high quality services that enhance customer experience and drive success.”
What Is Atlassian’s Cloud Specialization Program?
Atlassian awards its Cloud Specialization designation to partners who’ve demonstrated deep expertise and proven success in helping customers move to the cloud. It’s not just a badge—it’s a signal of trust and technical excellence.
This specialization ensures that customers working with SPK and Associates receive certified, experienced guidance backed by Atlassian. It guarantees a smooth, strategic, and fully supported migration journey. To earn this status, partners must meet strict performance metrics, complete multiple successful migrations, and provide strong customer satisfaction ratings.
“This certification and the growth of our Atlassian practice shows just how dedicated we are to our clients and ensuring modern platforms to help them deliver products more quickly,” said CEO and Co-Founder Christine McHale. “We have migrated dozens of clients to the Atlassian Cloud successfully, and we have to thank our certified Atlassian experts for their diligence and hard work to ensure the success of our clients.”
Real-World Results from SPK Migrations
With these dozens of migrations SPK has done to the Atlassian Cloud, we get to see the results and how they align to what the original goals were pre-migration. Customers that are moving to the Atlassian cloud are generally seeing faster development cycles and less downtime. One client cut release cycles by 40% and reduced tool-related outages to zero after migrating with SPK. Read more about this and other Atlassian Cloud Migration case studies here.
With these Cloud migrations, now Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and Slack now talk to each other more seamlessly, improving visibility and traceability. From FDA-regulated life sciences companies to global manufacturers, companies that initially were slow to move to Atlassian Cloud are now seeing the benefits of a more modern architecture.
