Appropriate messaging, clarity, and concise information should be packaged in an accessible and digestible manner. To help with the implementation and integration of the JumpCloud platform within your organization, we've included some generic email templates you can use to draft corporate communications and packets welcoming your users to JumpCloud and introducing them to the overall project vision.
The purpose of these emails is to inform your entire organization that the IT teams have recently partnered with JumpCloud to handle identity management and directory services. These emails include the roll out plan, timeline, and the covered resources that will be available in JumpCloud when the project is complete. Please customize these templates to better fit your and your company's needs.
