“We pride ourselves on helping our clients sustainably grow their internal capabilities. Market leaders must master modern software development methodologies to rapidly deliver value to customers. The collaboration, transparency, and alignment that Atlassian’s tools offer are a key piece of an overall shift to digital-first thinking,” said Pat Sheridan, CEO, Modus Create. “Our combined expertise with Atlas Authority, their extensive capabilities and leading marketplace apps in the Atlassian ecosystem, allow us to provide an even deeper level of support for clients looking to get more out of their investment in Atlassian.”

“We’re excited to see leading marketplace and solution partners in the ecosystem join forces,” said Ko Mistry, Atlassian’s head of global channels. “The combined service offerings and knowledge that this partnership brings will further help Atlassian customers as they reinvent the way their teams work.”

“By partnering with Modus Create, we’ll be able to offer our clients improved scalability and a deep bench of expertise in areas such as product strategy, DevSecOps and cloud migration – key components on the path to digital transformation,” said Boris Berenberg, founder and CEO, Atlas Authority. “This acquisition will open new opportunities for growth for both our employees and our customers.”
