Hi @Prasad_Biddika 

There are numerous tools available in the market that facilitate the migration of data from Jira Server to Cloud. However, it's important to note that migration projects are typically complex endeavors and necessitate careful planning and strategic execution.

When evaluating a third-party migration tool, consider the following criteria:

• Cost of Disruption and Downtime: Factor in the potential costs associated with disruption and downtime during the migration process.
• Migration Approach: Determine whether a 'big bang' approach, involving the simultaneous migration of all users, is suitable, or if teams can transition in a phased manner while maintaining inter-team collaboration.
• Required Jira Version: Check if your Jira instance needs to be upgraded to a specific version prior to migration.
• Dual Access and Synchronization: Confirm if users will have access to both the source and target systems during the migration, and if changes made in the target system can be synced back to the source.
• Total Cost of Migration: Account for data transfer expenses, downtime, disruptions, and potential information loss when estimating the overall cost of migration.
• Recovery and Rollback Plan: Establish a plan for recovery or rollback in the event of a migration failure or interruption.
• Field Scheme Configuration Differences: Analyze any disparities in field scheme configurations between your Server and on-cloud instances and devise a strategy for addressing them if necessary.
• Scripting Requirements: Be aware of the tools that may rely on unsupported beta versions of scripts, as they could demand a high level of expertise and consultant involvement. Determine which aspects of the migration process might require scripting and your team's involvement.
