User:Mdoar/Atlassian Partners

Atlassian Partners is the Atlassian ecosystem of partners, which has grown to over 1000 companies across the world since 2004.

History
The Atlassian partner program began informally in 2004 with a small number of other Australian companies. These partners mostly helped customers install and configure Atlassian products, along with writing custom plugins as needed.

The creation of a "plugin exchange" by the partner Adaptavist for all partners to share their plugins had developed by 2011 into the Atlassian Marketplace.

The term "plugin" for something that extends Atlassian's products was deprecated for "add-on" in 2012, and then renamed to "app". The term "partner" was also replaced with "expert" around the same time, then reverted to "partner" later on.

The Atlassian Marketplace reached US $2 billion lifetime revenue in December 2021.

There are various types of Atlassian partners, grouped according to what each one offers. Note that many of the partners offer more than one type of service, and in different geographical locations.
