Atlassian has unveiled a major evolution in its app ecosystem, redefining how apps integrate across its cloud products. The shift from “embedded apps” to “everywhere apps” marks a strategic transformation - one that prioritizes flexibility, performance, and seamless integration within the Atlassian platform. Developers will now be able to create experiences that transcend individual products, allowing users to interact with apps across Jira, Confluence, and beyond - without traditional boundaries.

For enterprise teams, this means a more unified and consistent experience across the Atlassian suite. The new app model supports a modular, composable architecture, improving how organizations deploy, manage, and scale apps securely across environments. As Atlassian deepens its investment in Forge and platform extensibility, customers can expect reduced integration friction and faster time-to-value for custom or Marketplace-built solutions.

🔑 Key Takeaways for Enterprise Customers:

• Cross-Product Integration: Apps now function across Jira, Confluence, and other Atlassian tools for a unified experience.
• Future-Proof Architecture: “Everywhere apps” leverage Forge and modern APIs, ensuring long-term scalability.
• Reduced Complexity: Simplifies governance, security, and lifecycle management of apps across multiple instances.
• Developer Enablement: Enables richer, context-aware app experiences without redundancy or product silos.
• Enhanced User Experience: Consistent, connected workflows streamline collaboration across the Atlassian ecosystem.

Custom Forge apps are rapidly becoming essential for enterprise Atlassian customers, addressing the growing demand for secure, scalable, and AI-enabled extensions that integrate deeply across Jira and Confluence. At ONETEEM, we specialize in building and optimizing these Forge-based solutions, helping organizations accelerate delivery, reduce technical complexity, and control Forge-related costs.

Through code optimization and architectural tuning, our team ensures your Forge apps perform efficiently and stay within budget.

Atlassian’s spotlight on Opus Guard is a perfect example of what’s possible with Forge. The team used the platform to reimagine the user experience for data governance by embedding AI-driven insights directly within Atlassian Cloud products. By running fully on Forge, Opus Guard delivers a privacy-first, responsive, and compliant solution without relying on external systems. This proves how Forge can support critical enterprise-grade innovation in both functionality and security.

For enterprise leaders, this moment shows how Forge has evolved into a cornerstone of Atlassian extensibility, enabling faster development, tighter security, and more intelligent in-app experiences. Whether building compliance tools, automation systems, or smart assistants, ONETEEM can help you unlock Forge’s full potential while keeping your total cost of ownership predictable and optimized.
