Feature
Atlassian is making some noise in the enterprise collaboration world at its annual conference in San Jose, Calif., this week.
Among the news -- the launch of a new native mobile HipChat app for iPhone and iPad that uses iOS 8’s new features. HipChat is the former San Francisco-based private chat service for enterprise collaboration that Atlassian acquired in 2012.
Meanwhile, Atlassian officials reported that the company ended its fiscal year June 30 with revenue of $215 million, up 44 percent over the previous year.
New Releases
Including HipChat for iOS 8, Atlassian, headquartered in Sydney, Australia, released three new features this week:
- Stash Data Center Beta: Atlassian officials are calling this the only collaborative Git solution that supports massive scale. "Stash Data Center is the ideal solution for enterprises looking to unlock collaborative workflows for their growing software teams," officials said in a statement.
- JIRA Service Desk 2.0: Includes an improved user experience, new self-service focus, better knowledge base utilization and advanced service level agreement (SLA) monitoring and management.
- HipChat for iOS8: Atlassian’s group chat and real-time communication software for businesses has been updated with simpler notifications, iOS native sharing and chat rooms, file sharing and searchable chat history.

Atlassian's customer count is up to 40,000, according to a statement from Atlassian co-CEO and co-founder Scott Farquhar.
