You are expected to move faster than ever.
If you’re asking how to keep up… you’re asking the wrong question. What every IT leader needs to be asking is how to build a foundation strong enough to propel your organization forward.
You are navigating a landscape where the pace of change is relentless, and the stakes have never been higher. To enable your organization to harness groundbreaking technologies like agentic AI and advanced cloud solutions, you need a foundation that is secure, agile, and intelligent. Google Workspace has long been a cornerstone of this foundation.
And Google’s recognition of JumpCloud as a 2026 Google Cloud Partner of the Year underscores that JumpCloud is equally essential in empowering IT leaders to rise to these unprecedented challenges.
Together, JumpCloud and Google provide the architecture that transforms IT from a reactive support function into a proactive driver of business velocity.
Modern IT’s Biggest Hurdles
Productivity suites sit at the center of enterprise operations. They connect your people, devices, and data. However, they can also represent one of your biggest sources of operational friction.
Legacy IT systems like Microsoft Active Directory and Entra ID often demand complex management. Over time, incremental add-ons for identity, endpoint management, and security enforcement create administrative layers and policy sprawl. This drives up costs and reduces your agility.
Your workforce now operates across diverse locations using a mix of Windows, macOS, and Linux devices. Managing these heterogeneous environments with fragmented tools introduces severe compliance risks. Every disconnected system widens your attack surface and delays your response to threats.
The data confirms this struggle. Organizations now rely on an average of 9.3 tools to manage their core IT functions. Every additional tool multiplies licensing costs, requires delicate integration maintenance, and opens new security gaps. You spend valuable time maintaining brittle links instead of enabling innovation.
Furthermore, the rapid adoption of AI demands absolute visibility and control over who—and what—accesses your network. Implementing Zero Trust security is no longer optional. It is a critical requirement to protect sensitive data and maintain compliance readiness. But you cannot achieve Zero Trust when enforcement is distributed across disconnected systems.
How The Work Transformation Set Bridges The Gap
The market requires a new operating model that prioritizes simplicity, verifiable security, and rapid time-to-value. A gap has formed over the past few decades between this need and the legacy infrastructure most organizations had to rely on. The collaboration between JumpCloud and Google Workspace creates the bridge IT needs through their Work Transformation Set (WTS).
WTS is a joint offering that fundamentally redefines the modern enterprise IT stack. It extends Google Workspace’s utility across identity, device management, and security to deliver unparalleled productivity gains.
Unified Identity and Device Management
WTS resolves operational friction by unifying identity and device management.
You can now use Google credentials to manage your entire device fleet seamlessly. JumpCloud’s Unified Endpoint Management capabilities allow you to enforce security policies, patch systems, and manage Windows, Apple, and Linux devices from a single console. Everything anchors to the core user identity managed through Workspace.
Zero Trust Security
We expand Google Workspace’s security posture by applying a Zero Trust framework far beyond the browser.
WTS enables you to mandate strong biometric multi-factor authentication and set conditional access rules based on device compliance and user location. You can centralize access logs for all resources, including legacy applications and servers.
This dramatically lowers your attack surface and protects the invaluable data stored within Google Drive and other Workspace services.
Simplified Procurement and Cost Savings
Managing multiple vendor contracts drains your budget and your bandwidth.
WTS simplifies IT procurement by combining core productivity, identity, and security licenses under one cost-effective Google contract. This financial and operational consolidation lowers your Total Cost of Ownership and removes administrative barriers.
Real-World Impact
The theoretical benefits of WTS translate into measurable business outcomes. Consider the financial technology company Tamara. By leveraging this unified architecture, Tamara cut employee onboarding time by 70%, eliminated manual password resets, and achieved full compliance across all their devices.
Similarly, global enterprises are using WTS to modernize their entire infrastructure. Grupo Clash replaced eight different security and management tools and retired all instances of Active Directory, streamlining operations for 6,500 users. Corsearch successfully migrated away from Microsoft completely, retiring costly legacy infrastructure while integrating securely with their HR systems to automate the user lifecycle.
Why It Matters
As an IT leader, your success depends on managing risk, optimizing costs, and maximizing efficiency. WTS directly supports these strategic goals.
Recent research reveals that 87% of IT decision-makers would consider migrating to a more modern productivity suite if a better, unified solution existed. This overwhelming consensus highlights a clear demand to break the cycle of complexity.
Future-Proofing
Groundbreaking technologies will continue to reshape the business landscape. By unifying your foundation, you gain the agility to adapt.
You secure all human and non-human identities, building the secure guardrails necessary to turn AI into a massive competitive advantage rather than an unmanaged risk.
Efficiency Gains
Unifying your IT stack eliminates tool sprawl. You can stop dedicating hours to reconciling configurations across overlapping platforms. A single management console streamlines workflows, automates repetitive tasks, and drastically reduces helpdesk inquiries.
Your team reclaims their time to focus on strategic initiatives rather than mundane maintenance.
Enhanced Security
Fragmented logs and split consoles obscure your view of network access. By consolidating identity, device posture, and access policy under one control plane, you achieve audit-ready proof of compliance. You close the gaps that lead to compromised accounts and unmanaged devices, ensuring your organization remains secure against sophisticated threats.
Cost Savings
Redundant tools and escalating licensing tiers consume your budget. WTS allows you to fully retire legacy Microsoft licensing costs and directory complexity. You lower your expenses by consolidating vendors and eliminating the need for costly third-party add-ons and connectors.
The Bigger Picture: Intelligent, Secure IT
