Successful Migration: Azure DevOps to Jira Data Center for Luxury Automotive Brand

A renowned German luxury automotive brand partnered with Getint to migrate nine Azure DevOps projects (covering Risks, Bugs, Features, User Stories, etc.) into Jira Data Center. The project included attachments, comments, and key ADO fields like Area and Iteration Path—some of which required custom JavaScript scripting into Jira descriptions. Completed securely and on-premise, the migration handled thousands of work items with precision, delivering robust data integrity and zero downtime.
