The problem
Atlassian licensing has become complex
Cloud tiers, user-based pricing, Marketplace apps, bundled products, and annual renewals create a maze that is easy to get wrong. The consequences are real.
01
Overspending
Paying for licences you do not use. Wrong tier for your requirements. Redundant Marketplace apps nobody tracks.
02
Hitting limits
Underspending and hitting user caps at critical moments. Feature gaps discovered when a project is already under way.
03
Missed renewals
Renewal dates slip in busy calendars. Service disruptions, emergency procurement costs, and lost negotiating leverage follow.
04
Wrong tier
Choosing Standard when Premium AI features would have paid for themselves. Or paying for Enterprise features your team will never use.
Design Industries provides licensing expertise that protects your investment and ensures you have exactly what you need — no more, no less.

Why Design Industries
The partner that works for you, not the vendor
Four things that separate how we work from how most Atlassian partners operate.
01
Atlassian Solution Partner
Accredited partnership and deep command of Atlassian's commercial models. We know the licensing landscape and guide you through it from day one.
02
25+ years experience
From startups to 7,000-user enterprises, we've navigated Atlassian licensing at scale. We've seen what works and what creates problems.
03
Vendor-neutral advice
We recommend what's right for your organisation, not what generates the highest commission. Your interests come first in every decision.
04
The Sundown Rule
Every licensing enquiry receives same-day acknowledgement. When renewals are approaching, every day counts and we treat them accordingly.

What our customers say about us
Enterprise teams across financial services, advertising, and consumer health trust Design Industries to scale their platforms with precision.
Michael and the Design Industries team have done an incredible job managing the scope and stand-up of our Atlassian instance. The rigour and detail in their process and documentation is incredible.
We reduced a number of tools across regions that caused miscommunication and inefficiency, bringing everyone into a single platform. By using the DI Configuration Patterns, we rapidly scaled Atlassian from 500 to 7,000 users, at the bare minimum doubling the efficiency of our teams, who are working on core bank payment systems such as our .com.
