Over the years, one theme surfaced repeatedly in customer conversations, internal reviews, and support operations: modern project teams demand speed, visibility, and control — without compromise. This expectation is especially critical in enterprise project management, where scale, governance, and performance must coexist seamlessly.
However, our Cloud and On-Premises environments evolved on separate paths. Cloud customers benefited from ease of access and low maintenance, while On-Premises customers enjoyed deeper customization, higher performance ceilings, and earlier access to advanced capabilities expected from an enterprise project management platform. This divergence was understandable at an early stage — but increasingly unsustainable at scale.
The most persistent question we heard was direct and justified:
Why should Cloud users have to compromise on enterprise-grade capabilities?
With Orangescrum 26.1.1, we made a deliberate operational decision to eliminate that compromise permanently.
This is not a routine release. It represents a strategic Enterprise Platform Release, marking the structural unification of our Cloud and On-Premises environments into a single, modern, enterprise-ready architecture. From this version onward, every customer — regardless of deployment choice — operates on the same codebase, the same UI, the same performance standards, and the same release cadence required for enterprise project management at scale.
Part I of this Enterprise Platform Release explains why we made this decision, the operational and engineering challenges we addressed, and how this unification sets the foundation for the next phase of Orangescrum’s growth.
Why We Built Orangescrum 26.1.1
For several years, Orangescrum progressed on two distinct product stacks — each designed to serve different deployment needs and operational priorities.
While this approach worked at an earlier stage, rising customer expectations around enterprise project management, governance, and delivery velocity made it clear that maintaining parallel ecosystems was limiting our ability to innovate quickly and deliver consistent value.
