How Universities Use Atlassian Confluence
Confluence is becoming widely used by universities and academic research groups for many reasons: It is attractive to educational providers because of its affordable Academic and Classroom Licenses. The add-on Atlassian Marketplace has hundreds of plug-ins that are useful for organisational, research and teaching applications. It is very easy to use compared to many academic or enterprise collaboration tools. Universities such as Stanford, Cambridge, and MIT have integrated JIRA and Confluence solutions for project management and customer service functionality, in addition to document collaboration in research and student groups.
