Botron Software, maker of Configuration Manager for Jira, is now Appfire

We’re pleased to announce our acquisition of Botron Software, the maker of Jira apps loved by power admins everywhere. By adding this amazing brand of Atlassian apps to the Appfire family, our customers will have even more incredible change and configuration management tools to help scale their Jira operations.

The Botron team first emerged in the Atlassian ecosystem eight years ago, and our co-founders were able to meet them as a young company. Now, Botron is a top Marketplace vendor with a 32-person team, 4 high-performing apps, and an award-winning Atlassian migration services team.

We couldn’t be more excited to join forces with Botron. Our teams share a dedication to innovation and excellence, and a strong commitment to building sustainable solutions for teams.

“Here at Appfire, we’re building a platform that brings the best of the Atlassian ecosystem together,” our CEO Randall Ward noted. “We are thrilled to welcome Botron to our team and can’t wait to see what new ways we’re able to build on the incredible work they’re already doing.”

This is our first acquisition following our recent PE funding and partnership with Silversmith Capital Partners, which we announced earlier this month.
