Apps

TNG Technology Consulting stands for professional software development. That is why we have developed a couple of apps for Atlassian products, both for our customers and for ourselves. Many of these extensions are available in the Atlassian Marketplace. We have updated some of our former open source apps and made them ready for Data Center to offer our customers certified stability, best possible performance, as well as excellent support. In order to continue to provide support and to enable the development of Cloud versions, we have commercialized some of these apps. Please refer to our roadmap for Data Center and Cloud for more information.

The introduction of new products in organizations often is a non-trivial change process that needs to be well prepared. We can assist you along the entire process taking care of both technical and -- often even more important -- social issues.

Installation, Updates and Upgrades of Atlassian Products

A professional setup ensures that upgrades and adjustments can be easily performed in the future. Our focus on automating repetitive tasks saves you a lot of time and reduces risk and costs.

Training for Users and Administrators, Workshops

In addition to training sessions where we familiarize users with the basic and advanced features of the products, we also provide training for administrators. Alternatively or in addition, we offer the creation of screencasts, i.e. short videos to illustrate specific topics.

We are happy to conduct workshops to discuss your specific requirements.
