Exploring the Changing Marketplace and Atlassian Ecosystem with GLiNTECH CEO Dimitri Spyridopolous

At the recent Atlassian Team 24 event in Las Vegas, Mitch Ashley from TechstrongTV explored the evolving landscape of the marketplace and the role of Atlassian products with Dimitri Spyridopolous, CEO of GLiNTECH - Valiantys APAC region.

Dimitri has been involved in this space since the early days, starting back in 2001 when Jira was just an emerging product sold online with limited recognition. Today, Atlassian’s product suite has become integral to the business world, expanding far beyond its initial developer-centric roots.

Valiantys, as Dimitri explains, is the largest solution partner within the Atlassian ecosystem. They assist customers in implementing Atlassian products, managing licensing, and supporting the journey from initial deployment to enterprise-wide adoption. GLiNTECH, now part of the Valiantys family, has been involved in this area since 2004. This merger has created a global entity capable of providing comprehensive coverage for large corporations around the world.

The acquisition of GLiNTECH by Valiantys was completed just a few months ago, marking a significant step in their evolution. This partnership positions them to transform companies on a global scale, helping them navigate the complexities of digital transformation and integration.

Discussing the changes in the marketplace, Dimitri highlighted how Atlassian tools have evolved from being primarily IT and ITSM-focused to becoming essential business tools across various departments. Initially designed for developers, Atlassian’s products now support functions in HR, marketing, legal, and more, illustrating their versatility and broad applicability.

Dimitri noted that the shift towards using Atlassian tools in diverse areas has been driven by the need for better workflow management and process automation. For instance, the head of risk at a banking institution was able to streamline request management using Atlassian’s toolkit, significantly improving efficiency. This adaptability makes Atlassian products valuable not only for IT but also for business processes across an organisation.

The discussion also delved into the future of AI in business applications. Dimitri acknowledged the growing impact of generative AI and its potential to revolutionize various industries. While the exact timeline for widespread AI adoption remains uncertain, it is clear that those who embrace AI early will gain a competitive advantage. AI has the potential to automate mundane tasks, allowing employees to focus on more strategic and creative endeavours.

Valiantys, with its global presence and extensive expertise, is poised to lead this transformation. Their focus on consulting and integration enables them to provide tailored solutions that address the unique needs of each client. By leveraging AI and other advanced technologies, Valiantys aims to help organisations optimise their operations and achieve their business goals.

Dimitri’s insights underscore the importance of adaptability and innovation in today’s rapidly changing business landscape. As companies continue to embrace digital transformation, the role of Atlassian tools and partners like Valiantys will be crucial in driving success.
