    Overview

    Project management is easy with Atlassian's Confluence as your single source of truth. It integrates with JIRA so you can easily add context to your projects in one central location. Create and track issues & product requirements, publish release reports, track release progress, and more when you connect Confluence and JIRA. Confluence allows you to create, share, evolve, and capture your team's project documentation so you can collaborate better, smarter, and as a team.

    Confluence also organizes your powerful repository of information, opinions, and knowledge to help you answer questions, create how-to docs, and possibly identify the next big thing. Logical and consistent management of knowledge and a powerful search engine ensure that you can always find the right content, when you need it most. Share, organize, and discover content all in one platform.

    Confluence has multiple deployment options to provide the flexibility your organization needs.

    Cloud is a fully hosted service for customers who want to iterate quickly and have us take care of managing the infrastructure.

    For customers who need to run our applications behind their firewall, we have Server and Data Center options. Server delivers greater capacity for a larger user base and gives you more control, allowing you to remain compliant with your enterprise IT, security, IP and privacy policies. For our largest customers, Data Center provides all the capability of our Server option, along with high availability, instant scalability and performance at scale.

    Atlassian also offers premium support and strategic services for enterprise customers. Technical Account Managers are cross-functional technical advisors providing proactive planning and strategic guidance across your organization.

    HipChat is a service that provides companies with a chat and text-messaging platform that they can run internally. This keeps all correspondences private in general but public to the people who you choose to be a part of the conversation. Some of the more popular features of HipChat include a searchable history, which lets you browse through your chats to find relevant information, as well as image sharing capabilities (which is a simple, drag and drop process). HipChat supports a wide range of OS including Mac, Windows, Linux, Android, iOS,desktop, and more.

    HipChat can be used for one-on-one conversations or it can be opened up for group chats to include all team members. Chat rooms are flexible enough to allow the free flow of ideas and external data so that the entire team or even department can collaborate on the same project without missing a beat. At the same time, HipChat allows individuals to pick and choose whom they communicate with and one does not need to send all communications to all team members all the time, but can pick and choose who receives what and when.
