SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Atlassian Corporation Plc (NASDAQ: TEAM), a leading provider of team collaboration and productivity software, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire OpsGenie, Inc., whose technology enables companies to better plan for and respond to IT service disruptions.

Software has become part of our daily lives – from sending money using your phone to signing contracts with a click. But all this progress comes with a downside – specifically, downtime. When a popular online service goes down, it disrupts millions of people and costs businesses $700 billion per year in North America alone. Responding to service disruptions has become one of the biggest challenges facing IT organizations today.

Greetings from Atlassian Summit, happening right now in beautiful Barcelona. We have more than 1,500 customers, partners, experts, and staff assembled to talk about our product updates, share best practices and tips, and be inspired by all the amazing things people are doing with the Atlassian suite. Speaking of amazing, did you know someone recently used Jira to plan their wedding?

How much time do you spend every week trying to find things? At home, it’s finding your keys and, at work, it’s finding the root cause of a bug or an old pull requests that introduced the bug. Since we’re not in the business of tracking your keys, Bitbucket Server 5.13 is making it easier to discover repositories and find pull requests tied to a given commit. You can also enjoy support for Git v2, with faster no-op fetches.

When we announced Stride in September 2017, we said, “It’s time we rethink the way we’re working. We believe that teams can stay connected and keep moving forward.” We still believe that. We knew we were taking a risk by entering an already competitive real-time team communications market, but we were willing to do the hard work necessary to build a great product. And we believe we were on that path.

Over the past few years, we have accelerated into a fast-paced ‘everything now’ era. Endless tech-powered innovations are giving customers more choices than ever before. When developing new products and features, continuous delivery and rapid software release cycles are now the norms. Enterprises have to adapt, improve, and deliver solutions faster to stay competitive and meet changing customer needs.
