When we started Rancher in 2014, our vision was to enable enterprise IT to procure and utilize computing resources (“cattle”) from any infrastructure provider. We were extremely lucky to be able to leverage wonderful technologies like Kubernetes which made computing resources consistent across all infrastructure providers.

Maybe your company just merged with another organization. Or perhaps you were a member of a group that was just bought out. Chances are you’ve been there: more than 75 percent of industries have become more concentrated since the late 1990s and the mergers and acquisitions boom is only expected to grow.

We’ve heard from our enterprise customers that these problems are really hard to tackle – and they need our help along the way. That’s why we’re excited to share we’ve entered into an agreement to acquire AgileCraft, a leader in enabling scaled agile transformations. Many Atlassian customers, including AT&T, Anthem, NCR, TIAA, and Duke Energy trust AgileCraft to scale their teams’ agile practices.

Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) in the private sector have been experiencing unprecedented growth, not only in terms of the number of yearly global transactions, but also in terms of their value. M&As are also well-reputed for their exceptionally high failure rates, as highlighted by the Harvard Business review in 2016: “…companies spend trillions on acquisitions every year. Yet study after study puts the failure rate of mergers and acquisitions somewhere between 70% and 90%”.

It's official and you're the first to know – Opsgenie is the newest member of the Atlassian family! Our commitment to you has always been that we'll provide the world's best alerting and incident management solution, coupled with outstanding customer service. That doesn't change. But we're excited to bring you even more – a fresh new logo, new plans, and much lower pricing.

Today we are delighted to announce that Atlassian has entered into an agreement to acquire OpsGenie. Six years ago, my co-founders and I recognized that always-on services were becoming commonplace, customers’ expectations were growing, and service disruptions had increased potential to impact a company’s revenue and reputation. As a result, the pressure on IT professionals was changing, but the tools to help them stay aware and in control of issues were not.
