Interview
April 25, 2025
Managing projects across multiple tools can quickly turn into chaos - especially when teams work in silos, spread between Jira and Azure DevOps.
That was exactly the case for Hiltermann Lease, a leading leasing company from the Netherlands. Different teams were using different platforms, reporting was done manually in Excel, and getting a clear overview of all projects felt almost impossible.
Roeland Möller, Application Manager at Hiltermann Lease, knew this wasn’t sustainable. The goal was clear: move everything to Jira. But how do you migrate dozens of projects, across multiple teams, without losing your mind (or half a year of your life)?
That’s where Getint came in.
In this interview, Roeland shares his migration journey with Jacek Wizmur-Szymczak, Co-founder of Getint - from the early struggles and failed tools to finally finding a solution that just… worked.
A story about smart migration, saving time, and how a company from the Netherlands solved a very universal problem.
Jacek (Getint): Roeland, great to have you here! To kick things off, could you introduce yourself and tell us a bit about Hiltermann Lease and the case we’ll be discussing today?
Roeland (Hiltermann Lease): Sure! My name is Roeland Möller, I live in the Netherlands, and I’m the Application Manager for Jira at Hiltermann Lease - a leasing company. We use Jira extensively, but we also had a lot of projects running in Azure DevOps. At some point, I migrated all those Azure projects into Jira using Getint’s solution - and it worked perfectly.
We actually have two companies within our organization using the same Jira instance. One of them is now moving to its own Jira environment, and that’s how I came to Mayra from your team - to explore if we could use Getint again for synchronization and migration between the two Jira instances.
Jacek: Amazing! Can you walk us through the situation before Getint? How were your teams working, and what challenges were you facing?
Roeland: In our IT department, different project teams were using different tools - some were in Azure DevOps, others in Jira. But there was little visibility between them. Some projects were impacting others, but there was no way to track that easily.
We were spending a lot of time using Excel to create reports and manually track things - but it wasn’t scalable or reliable. So we decided to migrate everything to Jira. Doing this manually would have taken forever, so we started looking for an integration tool that would allow us to map fields easily and make adjustments during migration.
We tested three or four tools, but none were user-friendly enough - until we found Getint.
Jacek: Do you remember which tools you tried before choosing Getint?
Roeland: I remember one - TFS4JIRA. The others I don’t recall exactly; this was about six months ago.
What made Getint stand out was its simplicity. I didn’t need a manual to get started. It’s a lean process - quick setup, intuitive UI, easy to adjust field mappings, and you can immediately see what's being synchronized or if something fails, why it fails.
Jacek: That’s great to hear. So how much time did using Getint save you compared to a manual process?
Roeland: A lot! Migrating a single team manually could take about a month. With Getint, we were able to synchronize a complete team within a week. In total, I migrated and synchronized 7 or 8 teams in around six weeks - something that would have taken me roughly eight months without Getint.
Jacek: Wow, that’s an incredible result. And how did you find working with our support team during the process?
Roeland: Honestly - top-notch. Whenever I had a question, I got a quick response. Sometimes things had to be investigated, but I always felt supported. I worked a lot with Mayra from your team, and the communication was great. It felt like premium support.
Jacek: Fantastic! So if you were to recommend Getint to someone just starting their integration journey, what would you say?
Roeland: Simple: Easy setup, easy synchronizing, easy migrating - and great support when you need it.
Jacek: Love that! Thank you so much for sharing your story, Roeland. It’s been a pleasure working with you and I really appreciate your time today.
Roeland: Thank you too, Jacek!
Hiltermann Lease’s migration journey is a great example of how the right tool can completely change the game.
What started as a complicated, manual process full of Excel sheets and endless workarounds, turned into a smooth and fast migration thanks to Getint. Roeland and his team were able to migrate 7–8 project teams from Azure DevOps to Jira in just 6 weeks - something that would’ve taken them around 8 months without automation.
But it wasn’t just about speed. What really made the difference for Hiltermann Lease was the simplicity of the tool, the flexibility to adjust mappings to their specific needs, and the premium-level support they received along the way.
As Roeland put it himself: “Easy setup, easy synchronization, easy migration - and great support when you need it.”
