Atlassian is an Australian enterprise software company that builds tools helping teams plan, track, and ship work together. Founded in 2002 by Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar, it is best known for Jira and Confluence and now serves as the collaboration backbone for software, IT, and business teams worldwide. The company grew famously without a traditional sales force, relying on a low-friction, self-serve model, and has expanded into cloud, IT service management, and AI through its Rovo agents and Teamwork Collection.
Webex is the collaboration platform born from one of the web's first conferencing companies and now run by Cisco. It bundles meetings, calling, messaging, webinars, contact center, and a line of conference-room hardware into a single suite, layered with AI for transcription, real-time translation across dozens of languages, and agent assistance. It serves enterprises, governments, schools, and hospitals that need secure, large-scale communication for distributed teams.
