Dispelling 4 misconceptions about self-managed environments
Every enterprise strives to meet its business priorities and goals in an efficient and effective manner. Organizations often turn to practices and products for help. While practices can typically be fluid, the conversation around products is typcially more cut and dry.
When it comes to products, it might seem that the world is turning to the SaaS revolution to help. However, not every enterprise is able to, nor wants to, adopt a SaaS option for all of their needs. Self-managed environments are still a way of life for many organizations. Just like everything regarding technology, self-managed software has changed drastically over the years and has left many misconceptions about this type of software.
Read on to debunk four common misconceptions about self-managed environments, and learn how Atlassian’s enterprise offering, Data Center, helps organizations meet their business priorities efficiently and effectively.
