Customised Atlassian solutions for requirements not covered by standard software

We develop bespoke apps, integrations and extensions for your Atlassian environment

The standard version often goes a long way. But not always far enough.

Atlassian tools offer a lot. For many teams, that’s enough. But as soon as processes are rolled out company-wide, data from ERP or monitoring systems needs to be synchronised, or specific compliance requirements apply, standard features and Marketplace apps reach their limits. This leads to manual workarounds, data inconsistencies and unnecessary effort.

This is precisely where custom development for Atlassian comes into its own. Instead of adapting processes to the tool, the solution is tailored to your requirements – whether as a bespoke Jira integration, a Confluence extension or a standalone Atlassian custom app. This ensures greater clarity in day-to-day work, less friction in workflows and better user acceptance.

What is custom development?

The term describes the development of bespoke software for a specific platform or system landscape. In the Atlassian context, this refers to apps, extensions and integrations built specifically for Jira, Confluence or Jira Service Management. The need for this usually arises from a requirement that cannot be properly implemented using either the tool’s built-in features or existing Marketplace apps.

Bespoke solutions for your Atlassian environment

Communardo develops bespoke solutions for Jira, Confluence and other Atlassian products. These are implemented using Atlassian Forge or as standalone applications.

Every project begins with a clear requirements analysis. Together with your team, we define what the solution needs to achieve, how it will integrate with existing systems and what operational requirements apply. This results in a concrete solution concept, which we implement iteratively.

Four operating models You decide what suits you best.

Fully managed model: infrastructure and operations handled entirely by Communardo

Not every company needs the same operating model. Implementation may therefore vary depending on the specific circumstances. Key factors here include security requirements, internal operational responsibility, scalability and integration architecture.

  • Integrated directly into Atlassian: Forge app development within the Atlassian Cloud infrastructure. No need for your own servers or additional operational overhead.

  • Your infrastructure, our operations: You provide the technical environment, whilst Communardo supports the day-to-day operation of the Atlassian custom app.

  • Your infrastructure, your operations: You take care of hosting and operations, whilst Communardo develops the solution and provides support during handover.

  • Fully managed model: Infrastructure and operations can also be handled entirely by Communardo, provided this aligns with your objectives.

Which model is most suitable depends on the intended use, the level of integration and your governance requirements.

FAQ

Custom development refers to the development of bespoke software for a specific platform or system landscape. In the Atlassian context, this involves apps, extensions and integrations built specifically for Jira, Confluence or Jira Service Management. This is usually prompted by a requirement that cannot be implemented satisfactorily using either the built-in tools or existing Marketplace apps.

Custom development for Atlassian is a sensible option if standard features, Marketplace apps or existing configurations do not support your processes reliably or cost-effectively enough. Typical reasons for this include complex integrations with third-party systems, bespoke workflows that cannot be configured, or specific compliance requirements. In such cases, a tailor-made solution saves more time and effort in the long run than trying to adapt the standard product.

Yes. Jira integrations with ERP systems such as SAP or Microsoft Dynamics, connections to DevOps and ALM platforms, monitoring integrations, and data imports from external sources into Atlassian Cloud products are among the most common scenarios. The integration is designed to fit in with your existing data flows and security requirements.

No. Operational responsibility can be allocated flexibly. Communardo can take full responsibility for operations, share responsibility with your team, or hand over the solution so that you can run it independently. We’ll discuss which model makes sense during our initial consultation.

Yes. Operation, monitoring, security updates, compatibility adjustments to Atlassian Cloud APIs and support can all form part of an extended service model. The scope is tailored to your specific solution and its criticality. This ensures that the app remains stable even when platform updates are carried out.
