Jira Data Center support ends March 2029.

One system, not four.

Tasks, tickets, help desk, docs and time share one schema. A ticket becomes a task without an integration, and the time logged against it lands in the same margin report.

Every task carries a cost.

Rates, budgets and logged time roll up into margin per cycle, per project, per client. The finance view is not a second product you buy later.

Project	Budget	Spent	Margin
Acme platform rollout	$120,000	$86,400	+28.0%
Northwind support retainer	$48,000	$51,200	−6.7%
Contoso data migration	$75,000	$41,250	+45.0%

Your own AI keys.

Point Ekso at your own model provider. Agents read and write through 140+ MCP tools inside your network. No prompt, no ticket and no document leaves your infrastructure.

Migrate in two commands.

Collect from the source into a local cache, then apply into Ekso. Dry-run first so you see exactly what lands. Every comment, worklog and attachment keeps the author it had on the way in.

Run it on your own machinein 2 minutes.

Paste this into your AI. It stands the whole platform up locally — nothing leaves your machine, no account, no card.

Spin up Ekso (open-source self-hosted ops platform — tasks, tickets,
time, money, MCP server) on this machine so I can try it.

1. Download https://ekso.app/download/ekso-docker-stack.zip and unzip
   into a new folder
2. cd into the folder and run: docker compose up -d
3. Wait until http://localhost:6050 responds (1–2 min on first run
   while images pull from Docker Hub), then open it in my default browser
4. STOP — do not fill in the /startup form yourself. Tell me to pick
   my own admin username and password
5. After I submit, sample data auto-seeds and the workspace populates

To stop later: docker compose down
